We are in such Cap Space Hell that we are gonna have to let go of really good team-mates that have helped us get where we are.

Offensively we may see the loss of Marvin Jones Jr and Jamal Agnew.  Shatley has money that we could save on.  On top of that Jawan Taylor, our RT, is due this off-season.  And, by football gods, the dude is gonna have to get paid or we lose him.

And if that wasn't bad, our defense has players we really should be brining back but could be released to save on cap space as well.  Baalke made a mess of our salary cap.  And it could potentially derail our success next year.  Smoot is up as a FA.  Wingard is a FA, Jenkins (I know some people for whatever reason think he's expendable...  HE IS NOT) is a potential cap casualty.  We could get rid of Roberston-Harris, but the dude just proved he could be a playmaker. 

All I'm saying is that the way our salary cap has been managed has resulted in these Jaguars, who clearly look like they are up and coming, may lose some very key players that have made us look like we're coming up.  This offseason may be one that really could determine whether we are Super Bowl contenders or just Playoff contenders...

The good news is we don't exactly have a lot of high end talent that we need to worry about losing because other teams are trying to shower them with money this off season. Maybe Taylor, but other than him everyone else can either be signed to a low end contract (guys like Wingard), or be extended to reduce their number if the team wants to keep them (guys like Agnew).
