Can these five bold predictions for the 2020 NFL season help the Jacksonville Jaguars turn their fortunes around?

We really aren’t sure what is going to happen to the Jacksonville Jaguars over the next few months.

Yes, there is a mandate for change from the team’s owner Shad Khan. But it’s one we have heard before. There is a commitment to doing a better job by head coach Doug Marrone.

But again, we have heard this one before. There is pressure on general manager David Caldwell to sign players in free agency, add puzzle pieces in the NFL Draft and retain veterans who are needed to make all these changes work.

We have known this for the past two seasons.

What we have here is a team walking a long path of a very short ledge. Time is running out, fans are impatient and frankly, the media had hoped there would be changes to write about as a fresh way to start the new year.

As Brian Sexton of Jaguars.com wrote, these changes that are needed may not happen on time. They still may be a year away from making an impact.

"“The salary cap is going to have to be serviced this spring and that means high-priced veterans will leave in favor of less-expensive, less-experienced players,” he writes. Even if [Quarterback Gardner] Minshew takes a big jump in his second season, the defense likely will go backward while they figure things out.”"
