Stay Or Go Predictions for Each Jaguars Free Agent

Prediction: GO

Fourth-year linebacker Devin Lloyd had a great season for the Jaguars, even earning second-team All-Pro honors. With that said, it was an outlier year for his career to this point and it is the kind of season that more likely than not will have priced Lloyd out of their plans. I think he signs a giant deal elsewhere.

RB Travis Etienne

Prediction: GO

Travis Etienne had a great season for the Jaguars, but they have two young running backs they like who they took on Day 3 last season. They could seemingly find a third running back with ease without paying out a big deal like Etienne will command.

CB Montaric Brown

Prediction: GO

I could go either way on this one, but Travis Hunter playing more at cornerback plus a few more draft picks at the position feels like a departure for Monatric Brown.

WR Dyami Brown

Prediction: GO

After beginning the year as a starter, Dyami Brown was a healthy scratch by the playoffs. This signing just didn't work out for either side.

DE Emmanuel Ogbah

Another veteran who started the year with a significant role but ended the year on the sidelines, Emmanuel Ogbah was only ever really brought for one year to begin with.

Prediction: GO

DB Andrew Wingard

Prediction: G0

The Jaguars have a ton of young options at safety and even more draft picks to add to it. With the emergence of Antonio Johnson, it doesn't make much sense to bring Wingard back.

CB Greg Newsome

Prediction: GO

Similar reasoning to Brown, who I believe has a better chance of staying than Newsome.

WR Tim Patrick

Prediction: STAY

The Jaguars will likely carry six receivers next year, counting Travis Hunter. They know who four of those are (Hunter/Brian Thomas/Jakobi Meyers/Parker Washington). A fifth should be a rookie, while I think Tim Patrick on a cheap deal makes sense as the sixth.

DL Austin Johnson

Prediction: GO

Austin Johnson was a solid rotational run defender this season, but that is an easy spot to replace. Maybe he is re-signed for camp purposes, though.

LB Dennis Gardeck

Prediction: STAY

A solid depth piece on defense who can also be an elite special teamer, the Jaguars likely don't need to rush to re-sign Gardeck. He is someone you can always bring back after the draft.

DL Dawuane Smoot

Prediction: GO

A fan-favorite and a locker room leader, it feels like time has run out for Smoot since the Jaguars have such a pass-rush need.

RB DeeJay Dallas

Prediction: GO

The Jaguars should be able to fill their running back depth with some cheap young talent.

CB Christian Braswell

Prediction: STAY

The team's lone restricted free agent, Christian Braswell has a lot of fans in the building.
