The Jacksonville Jaguars came into the offseason after a rough finish to the 2015 season with one goal in mind – add as much talent as possible to improve an abysmal defense. Fortunately, general manager David Caldwell went into free agency with the most salary cap room in the entire NFL after avoiding high priced veterans in his first three years with the team.
With that in mind, fans had lofty expectations for the free agency period and it’s hard not to be somewhat happy with the results. Despite swinging and missing, quite spectacularly, on defensive end Olivier Vernon, the Jaguars added 3 surefire starters to the defense with fairly high upsides.
