This time last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars sat with the most available cap space in the entire NFL. General Manager Trent Baalke went for a value strategy instead of using that space to spend big on top-tier free agents, but that tactic looks questionable in hindsight, to say the least. The team didn’t improve much from its 1-15 finish in 2020, going 3-14 and picking first overall once again.
However, the team may have a chance to rectify that mistake this offseason. Once again, the team has among the most available cap space in the league. Though the official number isn’t yet known, Over the Cap predicts that Jacksonville will have about $61.2 million to spend this offseason.
That would rank third in the NFL behind only the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers. The overall cap number for each NFL team hasn’t been determined, but it’s expected to be boosted to around $208 million after it was reduced due to COVID-19.
