Josh Allen adds a versatile role to the Jaguars defense, in an interview with Pro Football Focus he said he watches and tries to mirror NFL players like Pro Bowler Von Miller and the breakout force, Khalil Mack; who also happen to be the most athletic defensive ends in the game. I’ve had to go back to high school to figure out how he has become such an athletic defensive end. In his early high school days before switching to defense, Josh Allen was an all-state wide receiver with 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns his Junior Year. Here he is in HS making a reception as a WR against triple...

With OTAs and minicamp now wrapped up, we have entered the dead period of the NFL offseason with no major events occurring between now and the start of training camp in late July. Have no fear, though, there is still plenty of news and notes regarding the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let’s take a look at the headlines and stories from the past week or so: Speaking of training camp, the Jaguars have announced the full schedule. The first full team practice is set for Thursday, July 25 at 8:45 a.m., while the first full pads practice will be on Sunday, July 28. Left tackle Cam Robinson and...

This year marks the 25th season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. To celebrate, we’re counting down 100 days from our regular season kickoff with the top 100 moments in franchise history. Yesterday it was Tommy Bohanon’s touchdown to seal the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2017 AFC Divisional Game. Today? We’ve got to honor No. 82 — Jimmy Smith! Jimmy Smith (1995-2005) 862 receptions. 12,287 yards. 68 touchdowns. 21st all-time in receiving yards. A second-round pick with the Dallas Cowboys, Smith bounced around several practice squads before becoming a member of the inaugural...

If Kyle Brandt is even close to being correct, the Jacksonville Jaguars will finish this season looking more like their 2017 team rather than the disappointing 2018 team. In short, Brandt said two things on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football — the addition of Josh Allen along the defensive line and newly signed Nick Foles to help keep the defense rested and on the sidelines longer — would lead to a resurgence of a dominant Jaguars defense. It’s hard to deny this Jaguars team looks better on paper. Foles is undoubtedly a better quarterback than what they’ve had in previous years,...

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed fourth-year veteran wide receiver Tre McBride and rookie defensive tackle Kalani Vakameilalo. To make room on the roster, the team waived linebacker Nick DeLuca and long snapper Christian Kuntz. Both McBride and Vakameilalo participated in this week’s veteran mandatory minicamp as tryout players. McBride has played in 17 career games with stints with the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears since being drafted in the seventh round (245th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. He posted career-high numbers in 2017 with the Bears when he had eight receptions for...

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fined Telvin Smith a total of $88,650 for missing three days of mandatory minicamp last week, according to a screenshot of the linebacker’s Instagram account. Telvin decided to sit out the 2019 NFL season shortly after the NFL Draft and has not had contact with the team since they started organized team activities.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will not be giving Jalen Ramsey a contract extension this offseason — and that means Jalen Ramsey won’t be giving them a “hometown discount” when they finally come around the negotiations. Speaking with running back Leonard Fournette on Instagram Live, Ramsey said he was going to be playing hardball with the Jaguars brass when it came time for that next contract. #Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey was told he wouldn’t be offered a contract extension this year.And because of that — “no hometown discounts”."It's up this year." pic.twitter.com/EiROxnMctp— Big...

This year marks the 25th season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. To celebrate, we’re counting down 100 days from our regular season kickoff with the top 100 moments in franchise history. Yesterday it was Mark Brunell’s scramble against the Denver Broncos in that infamous 1996 playoff run. Today? It’s just Keenan McCardell, baby. Keenan McCardell (1996-2001) He played 17 years in the NFL, six of which were with the Jaguars. He was the perfect complement to Jimmy Smith in the late 1990’s, fearlessly catching passes over the middle and earning the “thunder” half of the “thunder and...

The Jacksonville Jaguars are onto Day 3 of their mandatory mini camp — the final day of organized team activities until training camp next month. You can catch the recap of Day 1 here and Day 2 here but to give you a tl;dr — Nick Foles has steadily improved after appearing a little rusty at the beginning, the team isn’t backing down from backing Yannick Ngakoue, a couple of key members of the offense are being held out for precautionary measures, and Jalen Ramsey isn’t going to get a contract extension this year. What’s standing out from Day 3 of mandatory mini camp? Follow along...

This year marks the 25th season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. To celebrate, we’re counting down 100 days from our regular season kickoff with the top 100 moments in franchise history. Yesterday it was The Point. Today? Mark Brunell’s scramble against the Denver Broncos in that infamous 1996 playoff run. I agree with the Brunell run against the Broncos in Denver in the playoffs, very iconic to the Jags franchise.— David Mercado (@RicanDaddi09) May 29, 2019 I am old and washed up and therefore I think back to over 20 years ago when the Jaguars were actually good.

The Jaguars locked up their 2019 drafted players to contracts, as the team announced they’ve reached agreement with the second of their two third-round picks in linebacker Quincy Williams. Williams was the surprise pick of the Jaguars draft, and frankly the surprise pick of Day Two of the NFL Draft according to a majority of NFL insiders, as the team used the 98th overall selection to take the Murray St. linebacker who previously had not received an invitation to the league’s two premier scouting events, the Senior Bowl and Combine. Despite the lack of name recognition, (though his...
