Not quite true - we do not have more cap space than any other team in 2022, the Dolphins do.  But we're a close 2nd in cap space, even with a ton of dead money from bad draft picks and free agent signings.  

The Jags also can jettison some underperforming players like Roy-Robertson Harris, Chris Manhertz, etc. to free up additional cap space if they want to bring back DJ Chark AND Allen Robinson or something.

If the Jaguars want more cap space, Linder would be the likeliest target.  The Jaguars would save over $9.6 million in cap space with no dead money by cutting him.  That move alone would put the Jaguars in the top spot in terms of most cap space.  I'd also mention Myles Jack.  Some people think we should trade him as he doesn't fit our scheme.  If so, that's also significant cap savings.  Those are really the only two who I could see from a salary cap perspective.  If we cut others, it would be driven primarily by performance.
