The Jacksonville Jaguars’ top three needs are clearly on the offensive line and at receiver and tight end, but those aren’t the only places where they could afford to make additions on offense this offseason.
There is also a lot of uncertainty at the running back position. Travis Etienne appears to be back on track to return from a Lisfranc injury, but the Jags don’t really know what they have in him as he only took the field for limited preseason snaps as a rookie. Additionally, James Robinson will be recovering from an Achilles tear he sustained late in the season against the New York Jets.
With the aforementioned players being atop the depth chart at the position, the Jags would be wise to add help at running back. April’s draft class would certainly be a good place to look, but the team may want to add a proven player at the position as the Jags will have at least $55 million available in cap space.
That said, here are some reasonable options they could consider in free agency for a position they shouldn’t be looking to break the bank on.
