I am hearing there will be a glut of interior OL available due to the cap.

Turner would be a good get, but all things considered, I'd still rather keep Norwell.

It sure looks like there will be a glut of interior OL.   available.  It's another reminder of the importance for NFL players to try to get as much guaranteed money as possible.  For every Marvin Jones who played all 5 years under the terms of the UFA contract he signed, there are probably at least 15 UFAs that signed long contracts that were released or had to restructure their contracts downward to avoid being a salary cap casualty.

Even with a likely change at LT for the Jaguars, I agree with you and everyone else in this thread that expressed a preference for the Jaguars keeping Andrew Norwell at least one more season.  Continuity with Brandon Linder would increase the chances of James Robinson building on his impressive work season,  which by itself would help Trevor Lawrence ( or whoever else takes snaps for the Jags ) being in more favorable passing situations.
