Here's the list of the Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) that will be either signed or find other teams in 2023.  In a perfect world there are 6 to 7 of these players I'd love to bring back next year...

But lets be honest, we're losing Marvin Jones.  We're probably gonna let either Arnold or Manhertz (hell maybe both) go.  I think Pederson isn't impressed with Henderson, Herndon, or Peters, so I think they are gone...  Gotsis is just a guy and is on that type of salary.  Whether he stays or goes isn't an issue to the cap.

1.  Evan Engram
2.  Marvin Jones
3.  Dawuane Smoot
4.  Arden Key
5.  Chris Manhertz
6.  Dan Arnold
7.  C.J. Beathard
8.  Andrew Wingard
9.  Jawaan Taylor
10. Adam Gotsis
11. Corey Peters
12. Tre Herndon
13. Darrell Henderson


So that leaves us with the players I've bolded.  These are the player's I'd love to extend contracts to and keep.  Some of them (Wingard, Manhertz) can be kept with not much of a salary hit.  I don't think they have a market outside Jacksonville, and they seem like they want to be here.

Marvin Jones - The dude had to deal with Urban Meyer and was the only beacon of WR hope for Lawrence to target.  I'd hate to see him go.  But I just don't see him taking a discount.  I think if he does take a discount, it would be great to keep him.  But he deserves to get paid.  So, if he moves on, I wish him the best.  Dude was a great Jaguar.

Engram - This should be #1 priority to resign.  If Engram somehow walks in Free Agency, Baalke should be fired immediately.  

Key & Smoot - Love both these guys, both should be kept.  If I'm wrong I hope someone can educate me, but I see Key and Smoot as very similar type players for our D.  Both contribute, both are great depth and can come in and shine when needed.  But neither is a stand out great.   I think it's possible to get them back, but I would not begrudge them if they both wanted to go find more money.

Juwaan Taylor - Looks like we overpaid Cam Robinson...  I wish we had the money tied up in Taylor and could let Robinson walk.  [BLEEP] me...  Uche Nwarani breaks down film on both Juwaan and Cam...  Juwaan is the better Tackle.  It's really going to suck to have to lose Taylor and keep Cam.  I mean, maybe we can trade Robinson?  

I think it's easy to keep at least 3 of these guys.  But the three we keep will not be Taylor or Marvin Jones.  I'm OK with losing Marvin Jones.  But if we lose Juwaan Taylor...  I think that's a mistake...  There has to be a way to structure Taylor's contract where we can over pay him in year 2.  In year 2 (which is 2024 for his contract) we can cut out Cam Robinson and boom, we have Little at LT and Taylor at RT.

That's the perfect scenario.
