The Jaguars and Texans look on paper to be set up as the two best challengers for the AFC South crown over the next several years. However, the Texans have had a much better offseason. The Texans added Danielle Hunter, Joe Mixon, and Diggs.
The Jaguars have arguably regressed. They lost out on re-signing Calvin Ridley, who left to join another AFC South rival, the Tennessee Titans. The Jaguars’ best free agency signing was Arik Armstead, who will help Allen on defense.
Josh Allen wasn’t impressed when the Buffalo Bills traded with Houston Those moves don’t seem to be enough for Allen. Allen liked a Tweet by Mr_Y_U_Mad that complained about the Jaguars not going “for the kill” like the Texans did when they traded for Diggs: Allen’s frustrations with the Jaguars run deeper than the Diggs’ trade.
The team applied the franchise tag to him this offseason after he had an incredible 17.5 sack season. They don’t appear ready to pay Allen the big bucks to stay in Jacksonville.
As stated above, they let Ridley walk after a great 2023 season. The Jaguars did sign one former Bills wide receiver, Gabe Davis, to the roster in free agency.
Davis wasn’t even a No. 2 wide receiver on a Bills offense that always looked like it needed more depth there to take an opponent’s focus away from Diggs. That move probably didn’t excite Allen too much.
