Big Cat Country Q&A: Why did we cut Marcedes Lewis?

Let’s answer some Jacksonville Jaguars questions about free agency, the 2018 NFL Draft and more!

Henry from Jacksonville, FL

Q: Why did they cut Marcedes Lewis? I think he had one more good year with the team after a productive season and he deserves a Super Bowl visit too.

A: Because he wasn’t good enough and there are several good tight ends in this year’s draft. Granted, it’s an incredibly crappy way to say goodbye to your longest-tenured veteran and a guy who was asked to block more often than he should have or catch passes from some dumpster fire quarterback situations, but the tight end position needs the most help of any position on this team (not including quarterback).
