When evaluating what the Jacksonville Jaguars need to do this offseason, one main area of concern is their lack of speed and explosiveness on offense. That’s an issue that could get even worse if the team doesn’t retain receiver DJ Chark Jr. on the outside, who is widely believed to be the Jags’ most dangerous vertical threat.
Even if the Jags retain Chark, more explosiveness is needed on the offense to help quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was excellent at creating big-time plays at Clemson. However, he had options like Justyn Ross, Amari Rodgers, and Tee Higgins back then, all of whom were some of the best receivers in college at their peak.
The Jags’ lack of explosiveness is something general manager Trent Baalke also mentioned at the combine this week, so it appears that he and new coach Doug Pederson are ready to address the issue soon in free agency. There are options like pending free agents Chris Godwin, Davante Adams and Allen Robinson who could be available, and with approximately $55 million in cap space at the Jags’ disposal, none of them are out of the Jags’ price range.
