The Jacksonville Jaguars will enter the free agency period with several needs, but one that fans would say is among the top of their list is the receiver position. In 2021 it was clear that the team didn’t have a No. 1 at the position and rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled as a result and for many other reasons.
The team’s need for help at the position is something that even they haven’t hid as Jags general manager Trent Baalke has said it was a position that the team paid “extra” attention to at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. That said, many experts have slotted the Jags a receiver at some point in the top-3 rounds of their respective mocks.
However, on Saturday, their desire for help at the position became even more clear as several reports came out saying they tried to add a veteran player at the position. That veteran player was former Dallas Cowboys receiver Amari Cooper, who is now headed to the Cleveland Browns for fifth and sixth round picks in April’s draft.
