The Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster is now pretty well set following the NFL draft. However, ESPN’s Matt Bowen believes that one more addition should be made.
Bowen recently named the best landing spots for several remaining free agents. For linebacker Bobby Wagner, Bowen believes that the Jaguars would be a good fit for the former All-Pro.
“Wagner’s 9.5 tackles per game ranked sixth overall in 2025, showing he can still key quickly and rack up run stops,” Bowen wrote. “He does have limitations in coverage at this stage of his career, which Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile would have to manage.”
Wagner is a 10-time Pro Bowler and has been a first-team All-Pro six times. Wagner was most recently a Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro in 2024.
Last season, he logged 20 pressures as a blitzer, he’s been an incredibly reliable tackler in his career, and logged two interceptions and two pass breakups in 2025, per PFF.
Without Devin Lloyd, there is a starting spot next to Foye Oluokun up for grabs. The Jaguars, however, seem quite bullish about Ventrell Miller stepping in and filling that role.
That said, adding Wagner to the mix would add more experience to this position group and elevate competition for playing time.
“As an early-down defender, Wagner could potentially take on the role next to Foyesade Oluokun. Devin Lloyd, who was a mainstay on Jacksonville’s second level, signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Panthers this offseason.”
The Jaguars don’t have an abundance of salary cap space, but additions at this time of the year won’t break the bank either.
We saw last summer that GM James Gladstone was willing to make some veteran additions post-draft, signing Emmanuel Ogbah and Dennis Gardeck.
