Jaguars Latest Overhaul Puts Trevor Lawrence in Another Rebuild..
The Jacksonville Jaguars are hitting the reset button-again. Just three years after selecting Trevor Lawrence as the franchise cornerstone, the team is undergoing another massive rebuild, marking the third major shake-up of the young quarterback’s career. With key offensive playmakers departing and a new front office making aggressive moves, Lawrence faces another uphill battle as Jacksonville reshapes its roster. The biggest shock came when the Jaguars traded wide receiver Christian Kirk to the Houston Texans for a 2026 seventh-round pick, a surprisingly low return for one of Lawrence’s most reliable targets. Kirk, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal in 2022, was expected to be a long-term piece of Jacksonville’s offense. His departure, coupled with the release of star tight end Evan Engram and the retirement of center Mitch Morse, leaves major question marks on offense. Reports also
suggest that running back Travis Etienne could be on the trade block. New Jaguars general manager James Gladstone wasted no time in reshaping the roster: Traded WR Christian Kirk Released TE Evan Engram Released CB Ronald Darby Released WR Devin Duvernay Released WR Josh Reynolds Center Mitch Morse retires These moves clear over $60 million in cap space, the seventh-most in the NFL, but also leave Lawrence without key weapons. With a depleted roster and uncertainty ahead, all eyes are on Jacksonville’s next steps. Are they positioning for a major free-agent splash or gearing up for a total rebuild? Either way, Lawrence is once again left to navigate a franchise in transition.
