Link to story Jaguars | James Robinson carried the load Thu Jan 21, 10:19 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson ranked sixth among running backs with 641 snaps played in 2020 despite missing the final two games with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was a find for the Jaguars. He was undrafted coming out of Illinois State in 2020 and rushed for over 1,000 yards. Robinson should be a centerpiece of what the Jaguars do on offense in 2021, and he'll benefit from no.1 pick Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) ...the expected pick at the top of the 2021 NFL draft. |

Baalke gets $100 million in cap space and the no.1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. That's a pretty sweet start to his new gig. |

Jaguars | Gardner Minshew, Jake Luton could compete for backup job Wed Jan 13, 08:56 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QBs Gardner Minshew and Jake Luton could enter training camp in a competition for the backup role, with Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence the presumptive No. 1 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft and expected 2021 starter, according to John Reid of the Florida Times-Union Wednesday, Jan. 13. Reid says the Jaguars could also opt to sign a veteran backup from outside of the organization.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars are going to take Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) with the no.1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. That means Minshew is going to be a backup. However, with the way that Luton played in 2020 he'll get a shot to compete for the no.2 job behind Lawrence. |

The Jaguars have an interview lined up with 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh on Saturday. His price tag will be quite a bit less.

The Jaguars are reportedly interested in Urban Meyer as their next head coach. They have the no.1 overall pick and $100 million in cap space to help turn things around in 2021 and beyond. |
