Jaguars | Tom Coughlin may have violated CBA Sat Apr 20, 10:32 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars executive vice president Tom Coughlin may have violated NFL offseason rules when he criticized CB Jalen Ramsey and LB Telvin Smith for not attending a voluntary workout earlier this week. 'We're close to 100 percent attendance - and quite frankly, all of our players should be here,' Coughlin said in a comment posted on the team's official website. The league's collective bargaining agreement states that club officials are not permitted to make players feel like they have to attend any specific workout. If the NFL decides to investigate and determines that Coughlin violated any rules, the Jaguars could be fined, forfeit future offseason workout sessions or even lose a draft pick.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette won't face discipline from the team following his recent arrest for driving with a suspended license, head coach Doug Marrone said Tuesday, April 16.
| Footballguys view: Fournette was arrested earlier this month but it is something the team is not going to discipline him for. The relationship between the two sides is somewhat frosty right now. Fournette needs to stay out of trouble, stay healthy and produce up to the expected level in 2019. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (knee) is expected to be ready late in the preseason as he continues to recover from ligament damage, according to head coach Doug Marrone.
| Footballguys view: Lee missed all of the 2018 season due to a knee injury suffered in the preseason. He's no lock for the start of the 2019 regular season. Keep an eye on this situation as we get into training camp. Lee could be the top target for Nick Foles when he's finally healthy. |

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette still has support of team Wed Mar 20, 02:55 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette has and will continue to work out with new University of Wyoming director of sports performance Ben Iannacchione, who spent six of the past seven seasons working in the strength and conditioning program at LSU - Fournette's alma mater. Fournette also spoke with executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin, who still has 'full confidence' in the player he selected No. 4 overall in 2017.'With Leonard, a prepared Leonard coming into camp with a mindset that he discussed and we talked about ... I have full confidence in him. He does have some things he's got to prove when he comes back about his preparation, but he's a young, young player, he loves football, had an outstanding year, had a very disappointing year, and I think he wants to - we want him to be a great player and I think he's in the same mindset,' Coughlin said.
| Footballguys view: Fournette has the talent but he's got to stay healthy if he wants to play up to his potential. The Jaguars upgraded the quarterback position with free agent Nick Foles, and that should help lighten the defensive fronts that Fournette has been used to seeing. He has yet to average more than 3.9 yards per carry in a season and has not played a full 16-game season. |

Jaguars | Chris Conley signed Sat Mar 16, 10:55 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent WR Chris Conley (Chiefs) Saturday, March 16, according to a source. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Conley, a third-round pick out of Georgia in the 2015 NFL draft, never played up to his potential with the Chiefs. He has speed but has never put his tools together in a cohesive package. Conley has also struggled with injuries during his pro career, playing only five games in the 2017 season. He had a career-high five touchdowns in 2018 but his numbers are likely to dip on a run-first offense like Jacksonville. |

Jaguars | Nick Foles agrees with Jaguars Mon Mar 11, 04:53 PM
Free-agent QB Nick Foles (Eagles) agreed to terms on a four-year, $88 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, March 11, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. There is a maximum value of $102 million.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars wanted to move on from Blake Bortles, and that's why they're paying Foles like a top quarterback. He's proven in crunch time and the Jaguars are hoping they can make another playoff run with Foles running the show and the defense hopefully bouncing back with a better performance in 2019. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles due bonus March 17 Fri Mar 8, 01:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles is expected to released before March 17 when he is due a $1 million roster bonus, in the opinion of a team beat writer.
| Footballguys view: Jacksonville cleared up plenty of cap space for Nick Foles on Friday, releasing several players but not Bortles...yet. Cutting Bortles would create another $4.5 million in salary cap space. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles will remain with the team for now, a source said Friday, March 8, but that could change next week if the Jaguars land a free-agent quarterback.
| Footballguys view: Bortles has a cap hit of $21 million in 2019 with a whopping $16.5 million in dead money. The Jaguars would take a big cap hit by releasing Bortles but it seems unlikely they would keep him if they can get a contract done with free agent quarterback Nick Foles. |

Jaguars | Nick Foles headed to Jacksonville Sun Mar 3, 12:10 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB and pending free agent Nick Foles will sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars when free agency opens on March 13, according to league sources.
| Footballguys view: Everyone expected this when it was learned that the Eagles would not place the franchise tag on Foles. The Jaguars appear to be the only serious bidder for Foles, and the two sides already have been working on a structure of a new contract after the Eagles announced they would not be placing a franchise tag on the quarterback. |

Jaguars | Jacksonville the front-runner for Nick Foles? Wed Feb 27, 02:06 PM
The Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be the front-runner for acquiring Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent QB Nick Foles when free agency opens March 13, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He notes, 'A lot can change once free agency opens ...,' however.
| Footballguys view: That sounds about right. The Jaguars can still play strong defense and run the ball when everyone is healthy...but they sure could use an upgrade at quarterback. Foles is going to be a free agent, and he should be able to make around $25 million annually from any team that signs him. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde is expected to be released this offseason. Cutting Hyde would save the Jaguars $4.75 million in salary cap space.
| Footballguys view: The Browns traded Hyde to the Jaguars in the 2018 season for a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Hyde didn't do much to impress in Jacksonville. His market should be somewhat cool as a free agent, although we expect some team to sign him for veteran depth. |
