5 potential cap casualties the Jacksonville Jaguars could sign in 2022

The Jacksonville Jaguars need to revamp their roster this offseason and they will have one of the best cap situations in the league, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see them become active shoppers in this year’s free agency.

Last season, the Jags targeted second-tier free agents, which isn’t a bad strategy in itself, but they also need to add a few playmakers this offseason and shouldn’t be afraid to spend big if that’s what it takes to land one a big name this offseason.

While several players will re-sign with their respective clubs before free agency begins, there are others that will be released due to cap-space constraints or injuries. Here are five of those cap casualties the Jaguars should target if they become available.

No. 1 cap casualty the Jaguars should sign in 2022 – Jon Feliciano, OG.

Jaguars interior offensive linemen Andrew Norwell, A.J. Cann, and backup Tyler Shatley are slated to become free agents this offseason. While it would make sense to bring back Norwell, it’s not a sure thing that he will return to Jacksonville in 2022. Also, this would be a good time for the Jags to replenish their offensive line, as there will be several options in free agency and one more might become available.

Offensive guard Jon Feliciano joined the Buffalo Bills in 2019 and re-signed with them last season. However, he spent five weeks of the 2021 campaign on the Injured Reserve list and missed two games after testing positive for COVID-19. When healthy the University of Miami product is a serviceable starter.

A fourth-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2015, Feliciano has participated in 34 games with 31 starts during his three-year stint in Buffalo. If the Bills release him this offseason, they would save $3.4 million in cap space with a manageable dead cap hit of $1.5 million.
