Thursday was another quiet day of NFL free agency for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Teams could begin negotiating deals with free agents on Monday; however, the Jaguars have made just one outside signing during that span, adding running back Chris Rodriguez.
During his free agency press conference, GM James Gladstone explained one of the big reasons behind the Jaguars’ lack of free agency moves.
So is Friday the day we see the Jaguars make another addition? If so, who are the best available players still out there?
Focusing on positions that the Jaguars should still be looking to address, here are Pro Football Focus’ best available free agents heading into Friday.
Best available free agent defensive ends on Day 5
What’s the need? The Jaguars are positioned well here with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. However, bolstering the rotation at this position is needed. We may not see Jacksonville spend big at this position, but a low-cost addition could be made.

What’s the need? With Lloyd in Carolina, the starting job next to Foye Oluokun is up for grabs. Ventrell Miller or Jack Kiser are options already on the roster, or perhaps James Gladstone chooses to explore free agency and the NFL draft to bolster the depth and competition.

What’s the need? This is arguably the biggest positional need the Jaguars have. Improved depth and more pass-rush juice are needed.

What’s the need? The Jaguars are experiencing almost no roster turnover along the offensive line. So, is there a pressing need? Not really. However, for a team that stresses competition up front, I can’t rule out an addition either, as Jacksonville looks to be more effective in the run game this season.
