JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — When the 2026 free agency window officially opens next week, the Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t expected to be one of the more active teams.
Part of that reason is due to the Jaguars’ cap space, which still needs to be sorted by Jaguars general manager James Gladstone and his staff. The Jaguars can make several moves to get under the cap with ease, but they do not look like the model of a team ready to go on a spending spree.
But another reason could also be that the Jaguars have several big names set to leave in free agency this offseason such as Devin Lloyd and Travis Etienne, creating a chance for the Jaguars to take advantage of the compensatory pick formula.
One aspect of that formula could leave the Jaguars open to a specific type of free agent, though, and is now set to reportedly come available in the form of Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.
