6 of Jaguars' own free agents remain unsigned after 2026 NFL draft

IDL Austin Johnson

For the most part last season, Johnson remained a regular contributor throughout the year, averaging just under 14 snaps per game -- although there were a few games where Johnson was inactive. He finished the year with two quarterback pressures and a sack. He graded out well against the run by PFF's metrics.

Will the Jaguars re-sign Johnson? Probably not. If James Gladstone feels that more training camp depth is needed at defensive tackle, perhaps he could turn to Johnson to provide that.

DE Dawuane Smoot

Smoot provided Anthony Campanile with a versatile presence up front, lining up at defensive end and in the B-gap regularly and everywhere in between. Smoot finished the season recording 19 pressures and two sacks, while making 21 tackles in the run game.

Will the Jaguars re-sign Smoot? It's less likely, but still in play. Even with two additions in the draft, the Jaguars could look to add to their defensive end roster for training camp. Also, outside of Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, this is an inexperienced group. So adding a veteran presence to boost the depth wouldn't be a bad idea.

DE Emmanuel Ogbah

As the season progressed, Ogbah's role was significantly reduced as Danny Striggow and BJ Green earned more opportunities. This includes being a healthy scratch on a few occasions. Ogbah finished the season with 16 quarterback pressures, one sack, and 13 tackles, according to PFF.

Will the Jaguars re-sign Ogbah? No. Ogbah struggled to carve out a role during the second half of last season.

OL Cooper Hodges

The Jaguars released Hodges recently. The offensive line unit is positioned well heading into training camp in July.
