3 reasons Jacksonville Jaguars can realistically make next Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl 57. Like most teams that have gone on to raise the Lombardi Trophy, the Chiefs got a few breaks here are there but didn’t get there by mistake. This was their third Super Bowl appearance in the last four years and had to beat several talented teams, such as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Cincinnati Bengals, along the way.

While watching the Super Bowl from home must not be a pleasant feeling, the Jaguars should feel good about their chances of appearing in it next year, and here are three realistic reasons they have a realistic shot.

3. Most of the Jacksonville Jaguars core from last year will return in 2023

It’s hard to keep teams together for a long time due to salary cap rules but most of the players that were on the Jaguars’ roster last year will return in 2023 even though they’ll have a limited amount of cap space.

There are a handful of key contributors on the Jacksonville roster that are set to become free agents but right tackle Jawaan Taylor, tight end Evan Engram, and defensive end Arden Key are arguably the biggest three.

There’s a good chance the Jags won’t be able to bring all of them back but even if they lose them, they will still have enough talent on both sides of the ball to make a playoff run next in 2023. While they have to fill a few roster holes in the offseason, none of them is a glaring weakness and they should be able to address all of them in this year’s NFL Draft.
