Jaguars Must Quickly Get In on Dolphins' Fire Sale

The Dolphins, like a few teams every year who accept their fates and kick off rebuilds, have sent a clear message to the NFL that they are open for business. And with this being the case, the Jaguars should make sure they get in on the action before it's too late.

So, which Dolphins players make sense for the Jaguars to inquire about if the Dolphins keep selling off parts of their roster? We offer a few names below.

Zach Sieler

The Jaguars' need for more playmakers along the interior defensive line has been clear for some time. Outside of Arik Armstead, the Jaguars made no dent with their interior pass rush last year, often leaving their edge rush out to try. Zach Sieler could certainly help take care of that after 25.5 sacks and 50 quarterback hits over the last three seasons.

Sieler is productive against the run, too, and would instantly provide a floor and a ceiling boost to the middle of the Jaguars' defense. Sieler will be 31 in September, so this is likely the best price the Dolphins will be able to get for him as they continue to reshape and retool the roster for the rebuild. Sieler is still under contract for several seasons, too.

Jordyn Brooks

If the Dolphins for some reason shop starting linebacker Jordyn Brooks, there stands a chance for the Jaguars to get cheaper at linebacker and potentially improve at the position in the same breath. Brooks' cap hit is a manageable $10,862,166, and the Jaguars could either see him as a Jakobi Meyers-style contract year trade or a Greg Newsome-style one.

In one scenario, Brooks continues to stand out for the Jaguars and signs a new deal in the offseason, likely for less than what Devin Lloyd signed for this offseason. In another, the Jaguars get a veteran stopgap coming off a solid year and still recoup draft capital by getting a compensatory pick if he does not re-sign. This would be a true no-lose scenario for the Jaguars as long as he continues his quality of play.
