Jaguars consider signing Bobby Wagner to bolster defense

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars are exploring options to enhance their defense following the departure of linebacker Devin Lloyd to the Carolina Panthers in free agency. The team is reportedly interested in veteran Bobby Wagner, who remains a top-100 NFL player even at 36 years old. Wagner's experience and strong performance, including 162 tackles last season, could fill the gap left by Lloyd. While Ventrell Miller is expected to step into a starting role, the addition of Wagner could solidify the Jaguars' defense as they aim for a competitive 2026 season.
