The Jacksonville Jaguars' decision not to pick up Devin Lloyd’s fifth-year option has raised some questions about his future with the team.
After being selected 27th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Lloyd was expected to be a cornerstone of the Jaguars’ defense. While he showed flashes of potential in his rookie season with 115 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and three interceptions, there were notable inconsistencies when the Jaguars asked him to switch up his roles within the defense. This opens the door for other teams, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to target him in a trade, potentially, or to sign him once he hits free agency after the season.
