“The Jacksonville Jaguars have the most salary cap room in the NFL.”
That’s a phrase we’ve heard many times over the past three years as the Jaguars went through a comprehensive (and painful) rebuild. With a renewed commitment to build their foundation through the draft, general manager David Caldwell purged all the dead weight (bloated veteran contracts) and hoarded as much money as he could in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
The team started handing out big contracts last year, but they stepped it up even more in 2017.
Kevin Seifert over at ESPN tallied up all the dollars teams have given out so far in free agency, and shockingly the Jacksonville Jaguars ranked number 1.
