Scouting the NFC North: 3 Vikings FAs Jacksonville Jaguars should target
The Jacksonville Jaguars allowed a season-low against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. However, their best defensive effort in 2020 might’ve come against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13.
In that matchup, the Jaguars’ offense turned the ball over four times, but their defense made up for it by forcing two turnovers, including an interception return for a touchdown, and registering a season-high four sacks. At one point, Jacksonville had the ‘Vikes’ on the ropes and forced the game into overtime.
Even though the ‘Jag’s ultimately lost, it was arguably their most entertaining game of the 2020 season. You could argue their Week 1 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts was their best game of the year since it was the only one they won, but their matchup against the Vikings should go down as the most fun to watch.
If the Jaguars want to avoid more heartbreaking losses in 2021, they will have to revamp their roster and free agency will help them add talent. They are projected to have $73 million in cap space and should be able to make a few impact signing and still have enough money left to add depth. Here are Vikings they could target in the open market.
