The Jacksonville Jaguars have questions at receiver as they continue through the draft process and inch closer to the new league year beginning.
Head coach Doug Pederson is very aware of their needs on the perimeter and in the slot, and made it clear that he'd like to keep the current group together.
"I'm not gonna dive into contracts and all that, that's for another day," Pederson said. "But when it comes to free agents on the roster, we definitely want to sign them all back if we can. That's the nature of the game- keep the core. And we're gonna do everything in our power to do that."
Most notably, Pederson added that he'd like to keep Calvin Ridley around in 2024.
[Calvin] was a great addition to our offense," Pederson said. "Obviously we'd love to get him back if possible. He adds an element of speed down the field that we need, Trevor [Lawrence] felt more comfortable [with Ridley] as the season went on."
Ridley was acquired via trade from the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 while serving a season-long suspension for gambling. He caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023 in his first season with the Jaguars.
