As free agency unfolds, we will be breaking down every move that the Jacksonville Jaguars make.

On March 9th, the NFL’s legal tampering period opens. This window allows teams to negotiate with outside free agents. Then, on March 11th at 4:00 PM ET, any agreed-upon deals become official.

However, the Jaguars have already begun addressing their roster and salary cap situation.

Follow along over the next few days as we break down each Jaguars’ free agency move.

Jaguars re-sign Montaric Brown (3/9)

Before free agency, the Jaguars agreed to a new deal with Brown for three years and $33 million. With Brown expected to have a competitive free agent market, getting a deal done beforehand was vital. With Brown back in the mix, the Jaguars have solidified their starting cornerback unit for 2026.
