NFL News: Jaguars help Trevor Lawrence with former teammate of Josh Allen on the Bills

Trevor Lawrence will face the tough task of improving the recent performances of his Jacksonville Jaguars, and a key part of achieving better results will be having a roster capable of competing at the highest level. Looking ahead to the upcoming NFL season, a new weapon joins Liam Coen’s offense — a player who previously played alongside Josh Allen with the Buffalo Bills.

Quintin Morris, who began his NFL career with the Bills back in 2021, has reached an agreement with Jacksonville and will now bring his talents to the AFC South. The former Bowling Green tight end is set to join Lawrence as part of the Jaguars’ offensive roster moving forward.

The news was reported by the insider Jordan Schultz, who shared more details about the intriguing move via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, shedding light on the latest addition to Liam Coen’s team.

“Sources: The #Jaguars are signing former #Bills TE Quintin Morris to a one-year deal. Morris had 3 TDs over three seasons in Buffalo and is especially valued for his blocking ability — a trait Jacksonville’s new coaching staff prioritizes in tight ends,” Schultz reported via @Schultz_Report.

What to expect from the Jaguars next season

The upcoming NFL season marks a new era for the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Liam Coen making his debut as head coach. Known for his offensive creativity, Coen will be tasked with reshaping a team that’s looking to rise in a highly competitive division.

One of the major highlights of the offseason was the selection of Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. His versatility and explosiveness make him a potential game-changer on both sides of the ball, and expectations are sky-high for the former Colorado standout.

The division won’t be an easy ride, as the Jaguars are set to battle closely with the Colts, Texans, and Titans — all of whom have made significant improvements. Every game within the AFC South could prove critical in the race for a playoff spot.

All eyes will also be on Trevor Lawrence, who enters a crucial year in his development. With a stronger supporting cast and a new coaching staff, this season could be the one where he finally takes that long-anticipated leap toward elite quarterback status.
