Fantasy Impact: Slye saw a lot of action with the Jaguars last year, but the team is now opting to release him to create roster space. The team just drafted rookie kicker Cam Little in the NFL Draft last week, so it will likely be a competition between him and veteran Riley Patterson for the starting spot. Slye could end up on a roster somewhere, but until then, he carries no fantasy value.

Fantasy Impact: Jones has been a member of the Jaguars for the past two seasons, but now he will hit the open market as a free agent after Jacksonville released him on Tuesday. The team likely feels more secure about their receiving core after bringing in Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason, and letting the veteran go will also open the door for Parker Washington to get more reps, who flashed some potential in his limited action last year. Jones is a talented player and could find fantasy relevance if he lands with the right team.

The Jacksonville Jaguars picked up their QB Trevor Lawrence's fifth-year option on Monday. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Lawrence has had a somewhat bumpy first few seasons since he was picked first overall, but he is the quarterback of the future for the Jaguars and I expect they'll figure out a long-term deal for him shortly.

Fantasy Impact: Etienne is an integral piece of the Jaguars' offense and it certainly seems that the Jaguars value him as such. He should begin contract negotiations with them soon.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said that the team will "need to calculate if there's someone we covet and need to make a run to get to 12, 13." (Source: John Shipley on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: While every team does preliminary work on their options for trading up and trading down, the latter of which Baalke has done in the past, he specifically brought up the 12-14 range in the NFL Draft multiple times in his press conference. That could be an indication of their willingness to move assets for the right player or a talent cutoff on their board. It's unlikely they make a pre-draft trade, but the Jaguars could prepare to move up if the right player is available.

The Jaguars and Josh Allen have agreed to terms on five-year, $150 million contract. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes $88 million in guaranteed money. The team elected to use the franchise tag on their star pass rusher, but are now able to lock up a key member of their defense for the next five seasons. Allen tallied a franchise record 17.5 sacks last season and will remain one of the best pass rushers heading into the 2024 season.

The Jaguars signed Josiah Deguara on a one-year deal. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Deguara spent the first four years of his career with the Packers in a limited role. He figured to remain in a primary blocking role with Jacksonville.

The Jaguars agreed to a three-year extension with Foyesade Oluokun worth up to $45 million. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Calvin Ridley is signing a four-year, $92 million deal with $50 million fully guaranteed with the Titans. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: In his first year back from suspension last season, Ridley caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards with eight touchdowns last season in Jacksonville. He remains in the AFC South and will join DeAndre Hopkins on the Titans with Will Levis looking to take a step forward next season.

D’Ernest Johnson is returning to the Jaguars on a one-year deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson saw 41 carries and caught 10 passes in his first year with the Jaguars last season. He'll remain in a backup role behind Travis Etienne.

Wil Lutz has reportedly changed his mind and will remain with the Denver Broncos. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It was reported earlier in the day that Lutz agreed to terms with the Jaguars. He'll instead remain with the Broncos for a second straight season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars restructured the contract of Brandon Scherff. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Scherff had a cap number of $24 million, so this move allows Jacksonville to keep him on the offensive line. This comes after they also re-signed Ezra Cleveland.

The Jaguars and Ezra Cleveland have agreed to terms on a new three-year deal worth $28.5M with $14.5M guaranteed. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jacksonville traded for Cleveland last season and moved quickly to keep him off the market. He started seven games last year for the Jaguars, but has shown the ability to move around if needed.

The Jaguars are re-signing safety Daniel Thomas. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The former fifth-round pick figures to provide some depth for Jacksonville. Thomas has primarily contributed in special teams.

Veteran CB Darious Williams is being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a cap-saving move. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Jaguars are in a disadvantaged position when it comes to retaining edge rusher Josh Allen, and they need to shed cap to create room to keep him in-house. Williams — who is now in his 30s — had a productive year, posting career-high marks in PFF coverage grade (85.3), interceptions (four), passes defended (19) and forced fumbles (two). A tough decision for the Jaguars, but a solid cornerback is now available on the open market.

The Jaguars' signed Riley Patterson to a reserve-future deal. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Patterson was with the Lions and Browns this past year after spending the 2022 season with Jacksonville. He'll look to earn the starting role for the Jaguars this offseason.

Brandon McManus made 2-of-2 field goal attempts (44, 30) and 2-of-2 extra point attempts on Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: McManus finishes the season making 30-of-37 field goal attempts and 35-of-35 extra point attempts.

Evan Engram caught 10-of-13 targets for 79 yards with a touchdown in the Jaguars' 28-20 loss against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Engram finishes the year with 963 yards and four touchdowns on 114 receptions. It was a career year right after signing an extension with Jacksonville. He should remain in a similar role with Trevor Lawrence next season.

Tank Bigsby ran for 16 yards in three carries in the Jaguars' 28-20 loss against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Bigsby drew some hype all offseason as the potential goal-line back in the Jacksonville backfield. He saw 50 carries and scored two touchdowns this season. He'll likely command a similar role next year behind Travis Etienne.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk is officially inactive for a Week 18 matchup with the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Kirk was activated from injured reserve Saturday, but he will not suit up. Kirk has missed the last four games after undergoing core muscle surgery and just recently returned to practice.
