<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a></strong> are getting busy right now. The Super Bowl champions have plenty of money, even after signing <strong>Jaxon Smith-Njigba</strong> to the biggest deal ever for a wide receiver. Now, they are trumping the plans of the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong>.</p>



<p>According to Field Yates of ESPN, <strong>the Seattle Seahawks matched the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a>‘ offer sheet for restricted free agent Jake Bobo</strong>. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media also reported the terms of the contract. Bobo’s new deal is worth $5.5 million for two years, with $4.5 million guaranteed.</p>



<p><strong>Bobo has been used in a very low profile by the Seahawks</strong>. Actually, when the Jaguars sent their offer sheet and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/seahawks-make-jaxon-smith-njigba-the-highest-paid-wr-in-nfl-which-wideouts-follow-him" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Seahawks made Jaxon Smith-Njigba the highest-paid WR of all time</a>, it wasn’t clear if Bobo was on the team’s plans.</p>



<h2>Jake Bobo has plenty of upside</h2>



<p><strong>Bobo has a great frame standing at 6’4″ and 207 lbs</strong>, so the wideout is a huge target and especially strong in the red zone. He is a great blocker, which is an underrated feature for a receiver, yet one that is deeply appreciated.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/23153701/jake-bobo-1920x1080.webp" alt="Jake Bobo #19 of the Seattle Seahawks" class="wp-image-603957"><figcaption>Jake Bobo #19 of the Seattle Seahawks</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>He also has quite an underrating good route-running</strong>. Add that to a cheap price tag, and the potential to become a more prominent player on the roster, and then Bobo is looking at a possible breakout year.</p>

<h2>Is Jake Bobo the WR2 of Seattle?</h2>



<p>It’s clear that the Seahawks have their WR depth chart really sorted out. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the undoubted WR1 of the team. However, Bobo is not exactly the WR2, that’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cooper-kupp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cooper Kupp</a>. Also, Rashid Shaheed is still there. <strong>However, Kupp is ageing and Shaheed is a deep threat, maybe Bobo gets more targets in 2026</strong>.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a></strong> must act rapidly if they don’t want to lose a receiver to the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong>. In fact, <strong>Trevor Lawrence</strong> could have a sleeper weapon now, if his team manages to make all this work after submitting an offer sheet.</p>



<p><strong>Jake Bobo is a restricted free agent, which means that the Seahawks have the opportunity to match the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a> offer</strong> (unknown at the moment) to keep him on the roster. They have five days to match it.</p>



<p>If Seattle decides to match it, it’s the same terms that the Jaguars offer. Bobo is a very good receiver, <strong>though it has been underutilized by the Seahawks so far in his career.</strong> Still, he is a very talented receiver that could thrive with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> as quarterback.</p>



<h2>Bobo came from nothing</h2>



<p><strong>Bobo was an undrafted free agent out of UCLA in 2023 and stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 207 pounds</strong>. He is also a big-time blocker on offense. Bobo is great in the red zone, and that’s why the Jaguars are looking into him.</p>

<p>Bobo has played 45 games, catching 34 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns. <strong>He has quite a high potential, and Jacksonville might want to exploit those talents</strong>. Now it’s time to see if the Seahawks will allow him to leave. </p>

<h2>The Jaguars have moved a lot of names</h2>



<p>The Jaguars signed running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. but saw how Travis Etienne left the team. The tight ends also moved as Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt also left the roster. However, <strong>the wide receiving corp is very good.</strong> They have Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Travis Hunter.</p>

<p><strong>Brian Thomas Jr.</strong> had an electric rookie year in 2024, but after suffering what can only be described as a steep sophomore slump in 2025, trade rumors started to pop up. However, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong> general manager, <strong>James Gladstone, clear the air, and actually called the rumors <em>“fraudulent claims.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Gladstone had an interview with Mia O’Brien of ESPN Radio where spoke in detail about Brian Thomas Jr. <em>“We haven’t gotten an offer for him, and there hasn’t been a lot of dialogue on that front,”</em> Gladstone said. <em>“We have no interest in disrupting the momentum [of the offense from the end of last year]. <strong>We look forward to continue to build… Know that Brian Thomas is a big piece of that puzzle.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Thomas had a decline in production as his rookie year was stellar, racking up 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. Meanwhile, <strong>his sophomore season saw him go down to only 48 receptions for 707 yards and two touchdowns</strong>. However, Gladstone is not one to overreact, hence BTJ is not on the market.</p>



<h2>The Jags must protect their offense</h2>



<p>The Jaguars already parted ways with one key weapon from last year, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jaguars-trevor-lawrence-sends-a-farewell-message-to-travis-etienne-after-he-joins-the-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prompting a farewell message from Trevor Lawrence</a>. However, <strong>the Jaguars will try to keep the receiving corp intact</strong>, as they helped Lawrence have one of the best years of his career.</p>

<p><strong>Brian Thomas Jr. will share targets with Jakobi</strong> <strong>Meyers, and Parker Washington</strong>. Also, Travis Hunter, will be back, though it’s likely that he will play more as a cornerback than a wideout. </p>

<h2>Trevor Lawrence must shine again</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> is entering his sixth season in the NFL, and he has had just two good years. He was one of the most hyped up prospects of all time and was picked first overall. <strong>He hasn’t lived up to those expectations.</strong> However, he showed glimpses of that elite talent last year under Liam Coen.</p>



<p>Now, <strong>Lawrence’s challenge is to be consistent</strong>, and by Jacksonville keeping all the weapons, they are giving him the chance to prove he is ready to become the franchise quarterback the Jags have always hoped he’d be. </p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong> have experienced a departure that will be difficult to replace, leaving a void within the team. Running back <strong>Travis Etienne</strong> joined the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong> ahead of the upcoming <strong>NFL </strong>season, and his closest teammate, quarterback <strong>Trevor Lawrence</strong>, sent him a farewell message.</p>



<p>Etienne made the decision to leave the Jaguars after five seasons, embracing a new chapter of his NFL career. He headed to the New Orleans Saints<strong> after they signed him to a four-year deal worth up to $52 million</strong>, boosting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/saints-updated-rb-depth-chart-with-travis-etienne-joining-alvin-kamara-in-2026">Saints’ RB depth chart—which already includes Alvin Kamara</a>.</p>



<p>Lawrence shared his thoughts on the news through social media, as NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed. <em><strong>“We’ve come a long way!! Going to miss you man. Been a hell of an 8 year run. Best is yet to come,”</strong></em> Lawrence wrote.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence">Lawrence</a> and Etienne were teammates throughout their entire college careers at Clemson Tigers football<strong> from 2018 to 2020 before entering the NFL in 2021</strong>. They later played together as full-time starters for four straight seasons, helping the Jaguars reach the playoffs twice during that span. Both players emerged as key figures during those years, developing strong chemistry as an offensive duo.</p>

<h2>The Lawrence and Etienne duo</h2>



<p></p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne">Etienne</a> leaves behind a significant gap in the Jaguars’ running back unit after serving as the full-time starter from 2021 to 2025. This past season, he started in all but one game, recording<strong> 260 rushes for 1,107 yards and seven touchdowns,</strong> while also adding 36 receptions for 292 yards and six touchdowns.</p>

<p>Last <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season was strong for the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong>, though their hopes of going further fell short. Now, <strong>Trevor Lawrence</strong> and his teammates will look to go beyond and make a big impact in the upcoming campaign.</p>



<p>The front office moved quickly to put together the most competitive roster possible, <strong>securing a key weapon for their star QB</strong> ahead of what’s to come. It seems <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen">Liam Coen</a> has reason to be optimistic.</p>



<p>Insider Jordan Schultz, via his X account, announced this interesting move in Duval: <strong>The Jaguars are re-signing TE Quintin Morris to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million.</strong></p>



<p>This move gives <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville</a> a very intriguing tight end group heading into the 2026 season. In addition to Morris, <strong>the roster includes Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt, and Hunter Long.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/04121812/quintin-morris-1920x1080.webp" alt="Quintin Morris" class="wp-image-591066"><figcaption>Quintin Morris #80 of the Jacksonville Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Surrounding Lawrence in the best way possible</h2>



<p>As we approach the 2026 NFL Draft, <strong>the Jacksonville Jaguars are laser-focused on fortifying the roster around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence">Trevor Lawrence</a></strong> to maximize his championship window. A critical component of this plan is the return of dual-threat sensation Travis Hunter, whose recovery from a late-2025 knee injury is reportedly on track for him to resume full football activities by May. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jaguars-have-reportedly-made-an-intriguing-decision-regarding-travis-hunters-position-on-the-field-next-nfl-season"></div>


<p>While the team has already taken a steadying step by securing reliable tight end Quintin Morris through a contract extension, a major question mark remains in the backfield. <strong>The Jaguars are working to prevent star running back Travis Etienne Jr. from hitting the open market</strong>, as his departure would leave a significant void in their high-octane offense. </p>



<p>With the draft looming, the front office is expected to use their capital—including a key second-round pick—to ensure Lawrence has the elite protection and versatile weaponry needed to keep Jacksonville at the top of the AFC South.</p>

Jaguars make intriguing move to support Trevor Lawrence ahead of the 2026 NFL season - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a></strong> has been one of the biggest revelations of the last <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season, not only because of his extraordinary talent but also because of the uniqueness of being able to play two different positions. Thinking about what’s ahead, while waiting to have him in optimal physical condition, the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> have something interesting in mind for the player.</p>



<p>The season-ending injury he suffered last year was devastating, although prior to it the level shown by the former Buffaloes standout was promising. Before going down, <strong>Hunter was on the field for 324 offensive plays and 162 defensive plays.</strong></p>



<p>What will be interesting from here on out is the decision Liam Coen and the rest of his coaching staff make regarding the position he’ll occupy starting in Week 1. <strong>Will his role continue to lean toward wide receiver, or will he take on a bigger presence at cornerback?</strong></p>



<p>According to a recent report from Cameron Wolfe of <em>NFL Network</em>, the Jacksonville <strong>Jaguars plan to make Travis Hunter a starting CB and have him play full-time on defense, while using him only part-time at WR.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/08153003/travis-hunter-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Travis Hunter" class="wp-image-576018"><figcaption>Travis Hunter #12 of the Jacksonville Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Travis Hunter’s intriguing rookie season</h2>



<p>Hunter’s rookie campaign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jaguars</a> showcased his potential as a reliable target, <strong>primarily lining up as a wide receiver throughout the season</strong>. He finished his debut year with 28 receptions for 298 yards, finding the end zone once and maintaining a solid 10.6 average per catch. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/liam-coen-makes-something-clear-about-travis-hunters-future-with-the-jaguars"></div>


<p>While his numbers were modest, his ability to stretch the field and adapt to the professional pace suggests he could become a much bigger focal point in the offense moving forward.</p>



<h2>What injury did Hunter suffer?</h2>



<p><strong>Hunter suffered a torn lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his right knee</strong> during a practice on October 30, 2025. Following successful surgery in November, his recovery has been progressing smoothly; as of February 2026, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen">Liam Coen</a> reported seeing him “bouncing around” in the weight room, signaling a strong rehabilitation. He <strong>is expected to be fully cleared for Week 1 of the 2026 season</strong>, with a high probability of participating in OTAs this May.</p>

<p>Following a serious <strong>knee injury</strong> in 2025, many fans are questioning <strong>whether Travis Hunter</strong> can continue handling a <strong>dual role in 2026</strong>. Now, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> head coach Liam Coen</strong> has provided an <strong>intriguing update</strong> on the team’s plans.</p>



<p>Last year, the Jaguars traded up in the NFL Draft to select <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hunter</a>, a <strong>rare two-way talent capable</strong> of playing both <strong>wide receiver</strong> and <strong>cornerback</strong>. However, the heavy workload may have taken its toll, as he suffered a season-ending injury late in the year.</p>



<p>In the aftermath of that setback, speculation has grown about whether Jacksonville should continue deploying Hunter on both sides of the ball. For now, <strong>Coen believes there is still time to evaluate the best approach moving forward</strong>.</p>



<p><em><strong>“We’re gonna continue to evaluate,”</strong></em> Coen said on using Hunter as both WR and CB. <em>“What does his schedule look like? Where do we need him more on this day or as a team. <strong>We’ll continue to be fluid with that</strong>.”</em></p>



<h2>The Jaguars need Travis Hunter healthy in 2026</h2>



<p>The Jaguars put together a strong 2025 campaign, overcoming the Colts and Texans to win the AFC South. Still, one lingering question remains: <strong>would their playoff run have been different if Hunter had been healthy?</strong></p>



<p><strong>Jacksonville fell 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card</strong> round despite hosting the game. Many believe Hunter’s presence could have altered the outcome, which makes his health in 2026 a crucial factor for the franchise.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/liam-coen-makes-something-clear-about-travis-hunters-future-with-the-jaguars"></div>


<p>According to general manager James Gladstone, the Jaguars may consider using Hunter more heavily at cornerback than at wide receiver next season. While no final decision has been made, one thing is clear — <strong>managing his workload will be essential</strong>. Otherwise, the former Colorado standout risks an injury-plagued career instead of fulfilling his immense potential.</p>

<p>Although the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> had a more positive season than we were used to, many believe the team’s fate could have been even better had <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a></strong> been on the field. <strong>Liam Coen</strong> knows he was a significant loss for much of the campaign, but he is confident that the future will be even brighter.</p>



<p>Coming back from a serious injury like the one the versatile player suffered at the end of October 2025 is often no easy task. However, the coach knows that Hunter will not only return in top form but will also be a threat to his opponents once again.</p>



<p><em>“A minor setback for a major comeback,”</em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen">Coen</a> said this week on the <em>NFL Daily podcast</em> with Gregg Rosenthal and Jourdan Rodrigue. <strong><em>“He will come back from this. He will be great. </em></strong></p>



<p><em>“One step at a time, one day at a time. And what that looks like going forward, shoot, I can’t tell you — we were evolving as we went, right? Time at practice on offense, defense. We were pretty fluid with it, and so it will give us a great opportunity to evaluate it again this spring. I do expect him to return to form, though.”</em></p>

<h2>What injury did Hunter suffer?</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> star Travis Hunter is currently recovering from <strong>a season-ending knee injury</strong> suffered during a practice in late October 2025. He underwent successful surgery in November to <strong>repair his LCL</strong>, and his recovery is reportedly going as expected, with a projected return to football activities by May 2026. </p>

<p><em>“It was so unfortunate to get hurt like that on a bye-week practice that he had just come off having a 100-yard game,”</em> Coen also added. <em>“It made us obviously have to pivot in some ways, and it was super frustrating, but <strong>he is the type of human being, the type of dude that will get better from this</strong>.”</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Hunter</a></strong> has made it clear that he wants to play <strong>both wide receiver and cornerback</strong> throughout his NFL career. Now, following a serious knee injury that cut his rookie season short, the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars have made a definitive decision</strong> on <strong>how they will use him</strong> in 2026.</p>



<p>When Travis Hunter entered the league, he left no doubt about his intentions to remain a true <strong>two-way player</strong> on both offense and defense. However, that demanding workload may have come at a cost, as a <strong>knee injury abruptly ended his rookie campaign</strong> with the Jaguars.</p>



<p>Many analysts believe the heavy snap count played a role in the former Colorado Buffaloes standout’s injury. With the 2026 season approaching, questions surfaced about whether <strong>Jacksonville would scale back his role</strong>. Those questions have now been answered.</p>



<h2>Jaguars unveil plans for Travis Hunter’s two-way role in 2026</h2>



<p>Shortly after Hunter suffered the knee injury, head coach Liam Coen admitted it was too early to determine whether the rookie would continue playing both positions. Now, <strong>general manager James Gladstone </strong>has confirmed that the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a> still plan to use Hunter as both a wide receiver and a cornerback</strong> in 2026.</p>



<p><strong><em>“Beyond that, in the role that he’ll play, we still expect him to play on both sides of the ball,”</em></strong> Gladstone said.<em> “Obviously, you can take a peek at expiring contracts on our roster and which side of the ball has more. Obviously at this point, walking into the offseason, <strong>corner is a position where we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts. </strong>So, by default, you can expect there to be a <strong>higher emphasis on his placement</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>With a full offseason to manage his recovery and conditioning, Jacksonville believes it can <strong>better control Hunter’s workload to reduce the risk of future injuries</strong>. The organization remains confident that his versatility is a key reason they drafted him so highly.</p>

<h2>Will Travis Hunter play more offense or defense?</h2>



<p>During his time at Colorado, Hunter excelled on both sides of the ball, and his goal remains unchanged at the professional level. Still, the <strong>Jaguars appear to have a preferred role for him</strong>.</p>



<p>In his rookie season, <strong>Hunter logged over</strong> <strong>300 offensive snaps compared to roughly 160 on defense</strong>. Those numbers suggest Jacksonville values him primarily as a wide receiver, while still utilizing him as a situational cornerback to provide depth and flexibility in the secondary.</p>

Jaguars make final decision on Travis Hunter’s two-way role in 2026 after tough knee injury - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong> could not make a deep run in the 2026 NFL playoffs. Now that their season has come to an end, a <strong>key teammate of Travis Hunter</strong> has <strong>addressed his future with the franchise</strong> as his contract expires this offseason.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/why-is-travis-hunter-not-playing-today-for-jaguars-vs-bills-in-wild-card-of-2026-nfl-playoffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Hunter, who was unable to play for the Jaguars against the Buffalo Bills in the 2026 playoffs</a></strong>, remains one of the most important pieces of Jacksonville’s long-term plans. However, he is not the only offensive weapon whose future is now in question.</p>



<p>That player is <strong>Travis Etienne</strong>. With his contract officially expired and free agency approaching, the veteran running back has spoken about <strong>where he hopes to play in the 2026 NFL season</strong>.</p>



<h2>Travis Etienne sends message to Jaguars ahead of free agency</h2>



<p>The Jaguars enjoyed a strong 2025 NFL season. Although their run ended in the Wild Card round, the team showed clear <strong>signs of progress</strong>, giving fans hope that Jacksonville can build on that success moving forward.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, the <strong>roster could look very different next season</strong>, potentially putting those plans at risk. On offense, the Jaguars could lose a <strong>crucial teammate of both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Hunter</a> and Trevor Lawrence</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Travis Etienne’s contract has now come to an end</strong>, making him one of the more intriguing running backs set to hit the <strong>free agency</strong> market. Despite the expected interest from teams around the league, <strong>Etienne made it clear that his preference is to remain in Jacksonville</strong>.</p>

<p>His comments send a strong message to the Jaguars’ front office: he wants to stay. In a post-game conference, Etienne said that it<strong> “would be crazy” if he had played his last game with the Jaguars </strong>in the loss against the Bills. </p>



<h2>The Jaguars should prioritize re-signing Travis Etienne</h2>



<p>According to Spotrac, Travis Etienne is <strong>projected to command</strong> a <strong>two-year, $13 million contract</strong> in free agency. Coming off a solid 2025 campaign, his production suggests he will be one of the more <strong>sought-after running backs available</strong> this offseason.</p>

<p>After missing his rookie season in 2021 due to a foot injury, Etienne has been remarkably productive. He has <strong>rushed for over 1,000 yards in three of his four active seasons</strong> and has totaled <strong>32 touchdowns</strong> during his career.</p>



<p>Those numbers highlight just how valuable Etienne has been to the Jaguars’ offense. With <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> and Travis Hunter forming the core of the unit</strong>, bringing Etienne back could be a key move in keeping Jacksonville competitive in 2026 and beyond.</p>

NFL teams with the most consecutive losses in history: Which franchise holds the record?

Travis Hunter’s key teammate sends strong message to Jaguars amid potential 2026 exit - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong> enter the 2026 offseason with roster planning quietly moving to the forefront. Contract timelines, more than headlines, are beginning to influence how they shape their short- and long-term outlook.</p>



<p>Several familiar names are approaching the end of their deals, including <strong>Travis Etienne</strong>, placing added weight on internal evaluations. These situations reflect a team balancing recent progress with the realities of future roster construction.</p>



<p>Rather than bold moves, their focus is turning to timing and priorities. The way the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> team approaches these pending contracts may quietly set the tone for the next phase of the franchise.</p>



<h2>Jacksonville Jaguars free agents in 2026</h2>



<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2026 offseason with a <strong>noteworthy list of pending free agents</strong> that could shape the team’s next chapter. Several contributors, <strong>from young defenders to key offensive pieces</strong>, are set to reach the open market unless extensions are agreed before March, underscoring a broader roster moment rather than a single <strong>high-profile decision</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/12105305/Travis-Etienne-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-560705"></figure></div><figcaption>Travis Etienne of the Jaguars in 2025 (Source: Mike Carlson/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>This wave of expiring contracts arrives at a delicate point for the franchise. After seasons marked by flashes of progress but uneven consistency, Jacksonville must decide <strong>whether its current roster core is ready to be preserved or still requires adjustment</strong> to truly stabilize the competitive window.</p>



<p><strong>Cap flexibility gives the Jaguars room to maneuver</strong>, but previous investments mean each move carries weight. Retaining continuity, reshaping depth, or allowing turnover will not be isolated choices, but part of a larger strategy that could define how Jacksonville positions itself beyond 2026.</p>

Jaguars free agents in 2026: Travis Etienne and other key players out of contract in Jacksonville - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a></strong> defeated the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> 27–24 in the Wild Card Round of the 2026 <strong>NFL </strong>playoffs, securing a spot in the next round behind an outstanding performance from quarterback <strong>Josh Allen</strong>, who reached a historic milestone in the victory.</p>



<p>Allen completed <strong>28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and one passing touchdown</strong>. He also carried the ball <strong>11 times for 33 yards and two rushing touchdowns</strong>. According to OptaSTATS, Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete at least 80 percent of his passes while also scoring multiple rushing touchdowns in a playoff game.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen">Allen</a>’s versatility as both a passer and runner was what earned him the 2024 NFL MVP award, and he carried that success into the 2025 season. He entered the playoffs with <strong>3,668 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, while adding 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns</strong>.</p>



<p>As the Bills advanced in the postseason,<strong> they continued to rely heavily on Allen’s leadership</strong>. Any injury concerns surrounding the quarterback were eased following the win, as he appeared fully healthy and ready to lead Buffalo deeper into the playoffs.</p>

Bills’ Josh Allen achieves unprecedented milestone in playoff win vs Jaguars - Bolavip US

<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars faced the Buffalo Bills with high hopes of winning a <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>. In Liam Coen’s first season as head coach, their record was 13-4, earning the AFC South title.</p>



<p>Trevor Lawrence entered as the quarterback with the best numbers in the entire NFL in the second half of the season and seemed ready to take the next big step with the Jaguars. All of this was thanks to an offense that changed after the trade for Jakobi Meyers.</p>



<p>Nevertheless, with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> out of the playoffs, Josh Allen perhaps had the greatest opportunity of his career to compete for a championship. That was proven with an epic comeback to secure a 27–24 win in Jacksonville.</p>



<h2>Jaguars out of the playoffs with loss to Bills</h2>



<p>The Jaguars are out of the playoffs after losing by three points to the Bills. Trevor Lawrence had a chance to tie the game on the final drive but was intercepted. In addition, in a very unusual moment, Cam Little missed a field goal in the final seconds of the first half.</p>

What happens if Bills lose, win or tie vs Jaguars today in Wild Card round of 2026 NFL playoffs?

Are Jaguars eliminated from 2026 NFL playoffs after loss against Bills in Wild Card round? - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a></strong> could be the next head coach of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a></strong> if they lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round of the 2026 playoffs. According to a report by Mike Florio, Sean McDermott would be at risk.</p>



<p><em>“Watch the Packers. Watch the Bills. They lose this weekend, watch what happens next with one of those two teams. The one that ultimately hires John Harbaugh is going to be the one that fires its current coach. I can’t rule out the possibility if the Bills and Packers lose. I can’t rule out the possibility that they’ll both fire their coaches.”</em></p>



<p>After the Ravens surprisingly parted ways with Harbaugh, there is no doubt that he has become the most sought-after name on the coaching carousel. If the Bills have an opening, it would be a huge opportunity to pursue another <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>, this time alongside Josh Allen.</p>



<h2>Bills could fire head coach Sean McDermott</h2>



<p>The Bills could fire Sean McDermott with an early playoff exit, as it would be seen as wasting Josh Allen’s prime. With John Harbaugh available, a change at the top would be viewed as an upgrade.</p>

John Harbaugh could reportedly join Josh Allen as head coach if Bills fire Sean McDermott - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a></strong> began the season as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> favorites, but as the weeks went by, that status started to weaken. That led to the New England Patriots taking the AFC East from them after five consecutive divisional titles.</p>



<p>Despite the fact that Josh Allen put up very solid numbers with 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions, turnovers began to pile up in the second half of the schedule and the defense failed to respond in clutch moments. That increased doubts about this team’s potential.</p>



<p>Now, with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> out of the playoffs, this appears to be a major opportunity for Allen to finally win a championship. In addition, other stars like Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson will also not be in the postseason. The first challenge in the Wild Card round will be very difficult against the Jaguars.</p>



<h2>What happens if Bills lose today against Jaguars in NFL playoffs?</h2>



<p>If the Bills lose to the Jaguars today in the playoffs, they will be officially eliminated. Then, as the No. 3 seed in the AFC, Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville could face the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Houston Texans in the Divisional round. By the way, a loss could also jeopardize Sean McDermott’s future as head coach in Buffalo because John Harbaugh is available.</p>
