GM James Gladstone got to this point by restructuring a few contracts in recent days. Earlier in the week, the Jaguars were about $16 million over the 2026 salary cap.
But by reworking Jourdan Lewis’ deal, $6.1 million in cap space was created. Patrick Mekari and Eric Murray’s restructures generated a combined $10.72 million in space.

So, although the Jaguars are now cap compliant, more moves will be on the horizon for Gladstone to provide Jacksonville with some spending power.

Along with needing cap space to make outside additions, teams need space to re-sign any of their own free agents, and space to sign their draft class, along with reserves for any in-season spending.
Here are three ways that Gladstone can still create more room.
The NFL’s legal tampering period opens on March 9th, and any agreed-upon deals become official on March 11th, when all teams must be under the salary cap as well.
