1-15, 4th AFC South
There was a lot of wheeling and dealing for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason as they traded away most of their defensive talent that was already established. The returns were not ideal. Now the Jaguars did address defensive needs in the draft and they also signed Joe Schobert. The drafted players are CJ Henderson and K’Lavon Chaisson, who were both strong first round values. While Gardner Minshew will have his shot, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still at a limbo with the quarterback position. DJ Chark emerged as the number one option in this offense last season, and that will continue in 2020.

The Jaguars had a disappointing 2019 season as they finished 6-10 as the worst team in the AFC South. Head coach Doug Marrone is surely on the hot seat at this point after two losing seasons following the team's AFC Conference Championship appearance at the end of the 2017 season. The one bright spot of last season for Jacksonville was the surprisingly great play of Gardner Minshew, a former sixth-round pick who led the team to a 6-6 record as the starter. There has been a significant exodus of defensive talent in Jacksonville over the past couple of seasons, but the team's first-round picks of cornerback C.J. Henderson and defensive end K'Lavon Chaisson should help address that issue. This is clearly a team in transition, and while they don't have any real
Heading into the 2020-21 season, the Jaguars' highest-paid player is Yannick Ngakoue, a defensive end who has a cap hit of $17.8 million. He is a former Pro Bowl player who is not on good terms with the franchise and has requested a trade prior to the start of this season.
The Jaguars' owner is Shahid Kahn who purchased the team in 2010. He is one of three foreign-born NFL franchise owners and was named the 2nd-wealthiest owner in 2020. He also owns Fulham FC, an English soccer team, and All Elite Wrestling.
Doug Marrone is entering his fourth full season as the Jaguars' head coach, having made the playoffs in one season so far. He is also a former NFL offensive linemen and was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2013-2014.
The Jaguars have just over $14.7 million in available cap space at the moment, which is the 16th-most putting them smack in the middle of the league. Jacksonville still has over $37 million in dead cap money owed to former players, including $18.5 million to former quarterback Nick Foles
Gardner Minshew, a former sixth-round pick, is now the starting quarterback for the Jaguars heading into the 2020 season. Nick Foles was signed to a long-term deal to be the starter last year but he was benched for the rookie last season and traded to the Bears this offseason.
K'Lavon Chaisson is the youngest player on the Jaguars' roster at 20 years old and he won't turn 21 until July 25th. The former LSU linebacker/defensive end was a first-round pick for the team this year and is expected to start on defense as a rookie.
Al Woods, a journeyman defensive lineman who has played for the Saints, Steelers, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Titans, Colts, and now Jaguars is the oldest player on the team's roster at 33 years old. He's the only player over 30 years old on the team.
