I been with him eight years. So I&#8217;m hoping we get Travis back. He&#8217;s a great player. I&#8217;m hoping we get him back. So that&#8217;s a great starting point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Lawrence then added, &#8220;Devin Lloyd&#8217;s a free agent. He had a great year. I mean, you look at what he did, he&#8217;s arguably the best linebacker in the league.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It&#8217;s no surprise that Lawrence feels this way &#8212; those are two high-impact players.

He did a bit of everything for the Jacksonville defense and is coming off an All-Pro season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But like running back, this is a position that GM James Gladstone invested two draft picks in last offseason.
