Despite a slow burn, Maason Smith started to flash for the Jaguars down the stretch of his rookie season. Could he be in line for a breakout in 2025?

If the Jacksonville Jaguars are to make any sort of noise in 2025, they will need a handful of players to take a step forward in their development.

One name that has begun to heat up in OTAs as a potential breakout candidate is second-year defensive tackle Maason Smith.

The former LSU star started to flash his skill down the stretch of his rookie campaign as he racked up 3 sacks...

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans which position group they have the most confidence in entering the 2025 NFL season.

Nearly half of the respondents voted for wide receiver.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Brian Thomas Jr. has the seventh-lowest odds (+1400) to lead the NFL in recieving yards after finishing third in the category as a rookie in 2024. The Jaguars’ receiver room also includes No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter, free agent addee Dyami Brown, and slot/return man Parker Washington. If any/all of those players exceeds expecations in 2025, the Jaguars may have the...

The Jaguars have a wealth of talent in the running back room and all four can contribute right away.

For the second installment of the state of the roster overview, we turn our attention to the Jacksonville Jaguars' running backs.

After examining the least controversial position group on the team, the quarterbacks, we now take a dive into the stable of running backs this Jags team possesses behind those aforementioned signal callers. Two returners will be the featured pairing, with two rookies right behind them looking to enhance the offense and special teams in a number of ways.

The Jaguars’ young star avoided a scary situation after taking a hard fall and leaving the practice field on Wednesday.

The Jaguars kicked off their second minicamp practice on Wednesday with the rest of the NFL. Unfortunately it did not come without a bit of an injury scare involving second-year standout Brian Thomas Jr.

Per multiple reports, last year’s first-round pick was seen experiencing a hard fall following a catch on the field. From those in attendance, it looked as if Thomas Jr. may have injured his shoulder with the way they helped him into the locker room.

The Pro Bowl punter is staying in Jacksonville through 2029.

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed punter Logan Cooke to a four-year contract extension, the team announced Monday.

He holds franchise records for games played by a punter (112), career gross punting average (47.4 yards), and rate of punts placed inside the 20-yard line (41.8%).

Cooke’s 43.5 net punting average is the highest career mark in NFL history. His 47.4 gross punting average ranks sixth in NFL history. The Darbun,...

Welcome back to the summer 2025 iteration of the Jacksonville Jaguars state of the roster.

As the entire NFL has seen in the past few weeks, the Jaguars are operating on a whole different level than the one people are used to. This is not the same old, same old under the previous regime(s).

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans to grade the team’s moves this offseason.

Nearly half of respondents gave an “A” grade, and almost 90% of respondents gave an “A” or “B”.

Jacksonville’s latest moves were a series of post-draft EDGE additions, first Emmanuel Ogbah in April, then Dawuane Smoot and Dennis Gardeck in the past seven days.

“You obviously want,” head coach Liam Coen explained at Thursday’s OTA, “Waves of maybe some different types of rushers at times.”

“There’s always going to be a learning curve and a physical growth curve that is going to...
