When the Jacksonville Jaguars extended quarterback Blake Bortles earlier this offseason, it signaled their commitment to the former first round pick for the next 2, probably 3 years. With less cap space available to them compared to previous years, many expected the Jaguars to sit out the bulk of free agency this and use the draft to try and add help for Bortles on offense.
Instead, general manager David Caldwell and executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin went after some big fish. After making Andrew Norwell the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL, the Jaguars also signed former Colts wide receiver Donte Moncrief, former Jets and Bucs tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and former Redskins tight end Niles Paul.
