The Jacksonville Jaguars should take a look at these three New Orleans Saints pending free agents.

Late in the 2020 season, it’s was uncertain whether the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to keep then-head coach Doug Marrone. However, the team moved on from him after the team finished with a 1-15 record. Looking back, they needed to make significant changes if they wanted to get back to winning and that’s precisely what they did when they hired Urban Meyer as their new head coach.

Now that Meyer’s coaching staff is taking shape and Trent Baalke is entrenched as the general manager, the team can shift their focus to the offseason. Making the right choice with the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft will be one of the biggest moves in franchise history, but before they get there, they devote their attention to free agency.

The ‘Jags’ are expected to have $73 million in cap space and will have the opportunity to be aggressive in their pursuit of free agents. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints are currently in the red and will have a hard time keeping their own free agents. This Jacksonville team should target these three this offseason.
