The Jacksonville Jaguars shouldn’t stop with Ingram.

Due to his injuries and input this season, his value will likely plummet in free agency. He will definitely have a market, but it’s unlikely his suitors will offer him a big contract. Instead, they might offer him a low-risk, high-reward deal.

This is where the ‘Jags’ must jump in and bring him in. The need to make upgrades at pretty much every position group on defense and Ingram could be one of many additions the team could make to bolster their defensive unit.

There is just one caveat. If they offer Ingram a deal, they have to make sure it isn’t their only signing and bet all their chips on him. Instead, they should bring in a handful of players besides him in order to avoid depending on just the defensive end. to produce This Jacksonville team needs more than one player to improve and the more they get, the higher their chances of turning things around will be.

The Jaguars have the resources to sign players in the offseason, so they can’t afford to sit this one out and rely solely on the draft to improve. They will need to bring in Ingram and be aggressive in free agency if they cant to right the ship.
