With NFL free agency at a near standstill, we will be evaluating the current state of each Jacksonville Jaguars’ position group, specifically, where things stand and whether or not more moves need to be made.
Compared to the rest of the league, it’s been a very quiet free agency period for the Jaguars. GM James Gladstone recently explained the reason behind that, and it has to do with the 2027 compensatory draft picks the Jaguars are projected to land. I would also guess that the Jaguars’ tight salary cap situation isn’t helping things either in that regard.
So the best avenue for addressing their remaining needs likely comes in the NFL draft, where the Jaguars have 11 picks — including four in the top 100 — and flexibility, allowing the board to dictate which direction they go at each selection.
Up next in our review is the special teams unit. If you missed our other positional reviews, you can find them below.

What is the need on special teams for the Jaguars after free agency?
What’s the need here? Well, there isn’t any. This is a very strong and stable position group.
Something to watch for over the next year is that Matiscik is in the final year of his current deal. He is a prime contract extension candidate. Little becomes contract extension eligible next offseason.
