Nine quotes from the Jaguars’ locker room cleanouut

The 2025-26 NFL Season officially came to an end for the Jacksonville Jaguars after their unfortunate loss to the Buffalo Bills during Wild Card Weekend. The Jaguars gathered at the facilities on Monday afternoon for the locker room cleanout. While there appeared to be a general sense of disappointment that the season was over, some players spoke about their season, the off-season, and the future. I gathered and summarized a few quotes that stood out.

Continuing to improve accuracy and giving the guys opportunities to catch the ball with space are two things Trevor Lawrence wants to work on during the offseason. Lawrence plans on watching tape to reflect on his game play and improvements he wants to make moving forward. He noted his footwork in the pocket got sloppy. Lawrence knows there are adjustments he needs to make and will continue to put the work in.

Jacksonville has always embraced Travis Etienne Jr. and made him feel at home. Having access to the beach was amazing to him, and since he hates the cold, the Lord sent him here for a reason. Etienne noted Coen is a “very modern coach” and that his offense was showcased this year. The mindset of this regime was what stood out to him. “It’s never about the finished product; it’s always about growing.” Etienne thinks Lawrence needs to “let his nuts hang” and “be cocky. Stop caring what people think.”

Parker Washington stated that he has not started a season where he knows what his opportunities are going to look like, so he’s hoping that’s the case while building during the offseason. He wants to be the best that he can be for the team, and a big thing for him is continuing to see the connection with Trevor Lawrence grow. He aspires for the connection to grow on a personal and professional level due to how well that translates on the field.
