This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans whether the team should re-sign Devin Lloyd and\/or Travis Etienne.<\/p>\n

37% of fans want both players to return. The remainder of fans are fairly evenly split into three camps: those who want to bring back just Lloyd, just Etienne, or neither one.<\/p>\n

Getting the band back together after one hit song (i.e., one good season) isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. If the Jags want to keep the good vibes rolling by re-signing Lloyd and\/or Etienne, sure, go for it. They\u2019re incredible players and seem to be respected voices in the locker room. The only potential drawback would be cost. This isn\u2019t about whether either player is worth paying (they are); it\u2019s about whether the Jaguars should break open their piggy bank now or later. Other homegrown players like Travon Walker, Parker Washington, and Brenton Strange will be looking for new deals soon enough.<\/p>\n

Head coach Liam Coen made an interesting comment during the regular season when asked about Etienne\u2019s ballcarrier vision in Week 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he saw it pretty well \u2026 He\u2019s just playing pretty confidently and having a good understanding as to what we\u2019re trying to get accomplished on some of those schemes. But ultimately, backs get paid to make people miss at the second and third level and get more than what the play is expected to get. If the play is blocked to ultimately get four yards, their job is to get eight. And that\u2019s ultimately what we judge backs by.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on this comment, plus Jacksonville\u2019s interest<\/a> in 2024 second-round pick R.J. Harvey and their eventual selection of fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten (both speedsters), the team is clearly interested in big-play ability at the running back position. The Jags could let Etienne walk if they believe in Tuten. However, Etienne finished 18th among 65 qualifying backs in explosive run rate last season (including playoffs). Tuten finished 61st.<\/p>\n

Would Coen and his staff be comfortable with Etienne\u2019s potential departure?<\/p>\n

The Jags can\u2019t afford Lloyd, and he\u2019s only had one very good season. Sorry.<\/p>\n

Etienne has been a solid contributor, and fits well into Coen\u2019s offense. But he\u2019s a RB, so easier to replace than most positions, and has a history of significant injuries. If the price is actually $6.8M, then I\u2019d say keep him if possible. I expect he\u2019ll be offered much more.<\/p>\n

A financial reminder of how awful Baalke was. His free agent group from 2024 was horrific and his out the door extensions added to the mess. I hope Etienne is kept. I feel like he adds a lot to the team and is a constant throughout Lawrence\u2019s career. I would try and keep that intact for at least another year or two. Llyod had a monster year similar to Hines-Allen before his huge contract.<\/p>\n

I have a hard time answering this one because I\u2019m not a contract\/financial guy when it comes to following the NFL so I would need to understand in a specific way what the cost would be, not in terms of dollars but impact on the rest of the roster. in theory, I\u2019d absolutely love to keep both<\/p>\n
