While the Jaguars didn’t have many unrestricted free agents worth talking about this offseason (no slight intended to Andre Branch, Bryan Anger, etc.), but they did have a couple intriguing restricted free agents after the 2015 season.
The Jaguars decided to extend second round tenders to two promising young defensive lineman – Ryan Davis and Abry Jones.
#Jaguars extended a 2nd-round RFA tender to pass-rusher Ryan Davis, who had 3.5 sacks last year.

Jaguars extend one-year tender offers to RFAs DE Ryan Davis and DT Abry Jones — and to ERFA TE Nic Jacobs

Both Davis and Jones would have garnered interest from other teams, but now the Jaguars have some leverage in either re-signing the two players or having them play on one-year offers.
