Of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ pending free agents this offseason, which player should the team prioritize re-signing?
If you ask Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus, it’s a pretty easy answer — linebacker Devin Lloyd.
“Lloyd slotted in the top 10 at the position in both PFF run-defense and coverage grades, and he tied for fifth in PFF WAR,” Locker wrote.
Lloyd did a bit of everything for the Jacksonville defense under Anthony Campanile. He totaled 25 pressures as a blitzer during the regular season and ranked 11th among linebackers in PFF’s run defense grade.
In coverage, he recorded five interceptions and two pass breakups.

Jaguars‘ GM James Gladstone recently addressed Lloyd’s future with the team.
Without Lloyd, the Jaguars still have Jack Kiser, Jalen McLeod, Ventrell Miller, and others under contract to play alongside Foye Oluokun, but replacing a second-team All-Pro presence is no easy task.
Spotrac is projecting that Lloyd earns a hefty payday this offseason after his performance in 2025. Will the Jaguars splurge to bring him back?
