JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars open the 2024 NFL regular season at the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 8 at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Jaguars revamped the receiver room, losing Calvin Ridley to free agency and cutting Zay Jones and adding Gabe Davis in free agency and drafting Brian Thomas Jr. to pair with Christian Kirk. That places more pressure on quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension with $142 million fully guaranteed last month. They're paying Lawrence like a franchise QB and he has to play like it, which includes elevating the players around him. There's no time to ease into that, either, because the Jaguars' first four games are against 2023 playoff teams (three on the road).
Here is the 53-man roster projection:
QUARTERBACKS (2): Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones
