Offseason storyline: This figures to be something of an area to watch in the offseason, with Washington – entering his fourth offseason – a prime candidate for a contract extension after emerging as a go-to receiver in his third NFL season. The Jaguars extended Meyers’ contract shortly after acquiring the seven-year veteran in a November trade with the Las Vegas Raiders and Thomas in 2026 will enter his third season after being the No. 23 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. With Hunter entering his second season, the Jaguars could return their top four receivers from a group that developed and improved dramatically in the first season in Head Coach Liam Coen‘s offense. One storyline to watch in this area: Patrick, who was a solid fourth receiver in the second half of the season, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on the March 11 start of the 2026 NFL League Year. Another storyline: The return to health of Hunter, who missed the final 10 games of the season with a knee injury sustained in practice before the team’s Week 9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
