Jaguars fans will have big expectations for him and Trevor Lawrence during the 2025 season.</p><p>Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/jaguars-qb-trevor-lawrence-won-t-set-date-for-return-but-very-optimistic-he-ll-be-perfectly-good-for-2025" rel="noopener">does not have a firm target date</a> for his return from injury. However, he said on Wednesday that he is “very optimistic” that he will “be perfectly good for the season.”</p><p>“The amount of throws might be a little lighter to start and work our way up, just until I get really, fully back,” Lawrence said of his offseason plan via NFL.com’s Nick Shook. “I imagine that and maybe just some handoff stuff will be a little limited, but besides that I think that won’t last too long. I’m throwing and obviously progressing my way up, further distance, more throws, just trying to be smart and not jump into the deep end right away. Just trying to work up to it.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-career-altering-move-amid-ir-decision">Lawrence had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder</a> to repair an AC joint injury. He was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-trevor-lawrence-practice-injury">placed on injured reserve shortly afterward</a> and did not play for the rest of the season.</p><p>That was not Lawrence’s only injury from the 2024 season either.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-injured-dirty-hit-leads-brawl">Lawrence also suffered a brutal blow to the head</a> from Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair late in December. He was in concussion protocol before going on IR because of his shoulder surgery.</p><h2><b>Trevor Lawrence will adapt to new Jaguars scheme while recovering from injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Trevor-Lawrence.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Hartline-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Lawrence also noted that he will have to adjust to Liam Coen’s new offensive scheme while recovering from injury.</p><p>Lawrence knows that developing his footwork is an important next step.</p><p>“There’s some things I’ve known about my footwork over the years of playing that I felt like have been a little bit of a weakness,” he said. “So, there’s some things that we’ve talked about of just, what are those things? What are we identifying as things to work on? And then the system is built around timing and tying your feet to your progression and playing on time. So it allows you to get back side, it allows you to get to checkdowns or whatever it may be, and you can feel comfortable playing on time. More than any system I’ve ever learned, it’s structured and based off that.”</p><p>Lawrence is not 100% healthy yet, but he will work with Coen on these details during OTAs this summer.</p><p>“And it takes some work. Flipping my stance, just some little things like that that are small that many people wouldn’t notice, but I have so many banked reps of the other way, I’ve got to just get all of these on my own and work them so once camp comes around I’m ready to go.”</p><p>Hopefully Lawrence can thrive in Coen’s offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I’m really excited to get a chance to work with him, support him, and really bring the tools that he has in his arsenal to life,” Gladstone said ahead of the NFL Combine, per the Florida-Times Union.</p><p>Gladstone says that helping Lawrence includes adding guys on the offensive line. It’s an area that the team is expected to address with free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft.</p><p>“I think it starts by the protection. Making sure that he feels like he has as much time to work with as possible, and also that he’s comfortable with his pass catchers,” Gladstone added. “He’s going to feel that change both in the operation schematically and then the personnel that we invite in.”</p><p>Gladstone takes over as GM of a team that’s struggling. Jacksonville replaced both their general manager and head coach, following a 4-13 season in 2024. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-real-future-liam-coen-hire">Liam Coen is the new head coach of the Jaguars, replacing Doug Pederson</a>.</p><h2><b>Jaguars have some areas to fix moving forward </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/James-Gladstone.jpg"><figcaption>Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jaguars-news-hire-james-gladstone-from-rams-new-gm">Gladstone will have his hands full this offseason trying to fix the Jaguars</a>. Jacksonville struggled both on offense and defense last season, ultimately ending the Pederson tenure.</p><p>The Jaguars do have something to build around in Lawrence. The team needs him to produce, as the quarterback signed a massive contract extension last offseason with the franchise. In 2024, Lawrence was banged up and had career-lows with his stats.</p><p>Lawrence threw for just 2,045 passing yards during the season. He finished the campaign with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Those numbers need to be much closer to what he did in 2022. That season, the Jaguars made the playoffs as Lawrence threw for 4,113 yards.</p><p>Lawrence will have a new head coach to work with. Coen got his first NFL head coaching job this offseason. He served as an assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024, working as an offensive coordinator.</p><p>The new Jaguars GM thinks the defense will <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/article/gm-james-gladstone-expect-jaguars-203152979.html" rel="noopener">also be getting new players</a>.</p><p>“We’ll be an urgent and explosive bunch on defense,” Gladstone said, per Yahoo Sports. “It’ll certainly be a shift from what our fans probably saw last year.”</p><p>The NFL Combine provides the first opportunity for the new Jaguars management to find possible players. NFL’s combine starts on Thursday and runs through March 2.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The deal includes a $16.5 million salary for 2025, but his future in Jacksonville appears uncertain amid roster changes and financial considerations.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-christian-kirk-big-promise-season-ending-injury">Kirk is coming off a season-ending injury</a> after breaking his left collarbone in the Jaguars’ Week 8 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran wideout was limited to just eight games in 2024, finishing the year with 379 receiving yards and one touchdown on 27 receptions. He averaged 14 yards per catch before the injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season.</p><p>Graziano pointed to the emergence of rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. as a key reason Jacksonville may move on from Kirk. The 22-year-old established himself as Trevor Lawrence’s primary target in his first NFL season, leading the team with 1,282 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 133 targets. Thomas averaged 14.7 yards per reception across 17 games, proving to be a dynamic playmaker for Jacksonville’s offense.</p><h2><b>Jaguars’ roster overhaul and cap considerations could lead to Christian Kirk’s departure</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Christian-Kirk-13-signals-a-first-down-during-the-second-half-against-the-Green-Bay-Packers.jpg"><figcaption>© Melina Myers-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jaguars further reinforced their receiving corps last offseason by signing Gabe Davis to a three-year, $39 million contract. With Davis in the mix alongside Thomas, Kirk’s role in the offense may be diminished, making him a potential cap casualty as the team looks to restructure its roster.</p><p>Graziano also noted that Jacksonville’s front office changes could impact Kirk’s status. The team fired general manager Trent Baalke in January and hired <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-secret-liam-coen-meeting-landed-jacksonville-gig">Liam Coen as its new head coach</a>, signaling a shift in direction. Given these changes, the Jaguars could decide to part ways with Kirk to create additional cap space and build the roster under new leadership.</p><p>While releasing Kirk appears to be the most likely outcome, Graziano suggested that Jacksonville could explore a trade if the veteran receiver is healthy. His contract, while substantial, is not viewed as prohibitive, making a deal possible for a team in need of an experienced pass-catcher.</p><p>If the Jaguars do cut Kirk, they would clear significant cap space heading into the 2025 season. His departure would mark another shift in the team’s offensive makeup as they continue building around Lawrence and Thomas.</p><p>Jacksonville is expected to make key roster decisions in the coming months as it prepares for the 2025 season. Kirk’s future remains uncertain, but all indications point toward the Jaguars moving on from the veteran wide receiver.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback got real about his team’s future after the Liam Coen hire.</p><p>Lawrence, who will enter his fifth NFL season, has a career record of 22-38 despite coming into the league as the sometimes-dreaded “generational talent.” The Jaguars posted a mark of 4-13 last season, but Lawrence said Coen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/lXh51UNrv88?t=2071s" rel="noopener">changes the narrative</a>, according to his comments on the Up &amp; Adams Show via nbcsports.com.</p><p>“I like everything that we have in place so far — Coach Cohen and the whole staff that he’s brought in so far,” Lawrence told Adams. “So, I’m really excited and optimistic about the future.”</p><h2><b>Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence needs a standout season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Jacksonville-QB-Trevor-Lawrence.jpg"></figure><p>Lawrence had a record of 3-14 as a rookie in 2021 before putting up marks of 9-8 and 8-8 over the next two years. Things plummeted to 2-8 for him and the Jaguars in 2024, and his number didn’t look good. Lawrence completed only 60.6% of his passes for 2,045 yards. He totaled 11 touchdown passes with seven interceptions.</p><p>Also, he did next to nothing on the ground with 119 yards on 26 carries. And Lawrence has a notorious total of 36 fumbles for his Jaguars career.</p><p>Things will get better for him and the Jaguars in 2025 because of Coen, Lawrence said.</p><p>“He has this drive to win, to have success,” Lawrence said. “Obviously, this is his first head coaching gig, and he has a lot to prove. I think to see what he’s done in his past as a play-caller with a lot of different quarterbacks, a lot of different types of quarterbacks, too, in college at the NFL level, obviously what he did with the Bucs last year — I’m really excited just from a football perspective of the scheme, the offense we’re going to run, how he sets everything up, the run game, I’m just really, really excited for that.</p><p>“But then the leader, the energy — he’s a younger guy, I think just the juice he’s going to bring into the building and the staff he hired, it’s a good mix. We have a lot of young coaches, but we also have some veteran, older guys who have been doing it for a long time that are experienced.”</p><h2><b>Liam Coen is a first-time head coach</b></h2><p>Of course, Coen doesn’t come into the Jaguars role with experience. He has only two years as an offensive coordinator on his resume. However, the Tampa Bay offense flourished under Coen with Baker Mayfield at the helm. So if Coen can help rejuvenate Mayfield’s career, perhaps he can do the same with Lawrence.</p><p>Coen’s energetic approach is part of what the Jaguars need, Lawrence said.</p><p>“We’ve been through a lot,” Lawrence said. “The last two seasons have been … not what we expected after what we did two years ago. And I think this team just needs some juice, and I know he’s going to bring that.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For most teams, general managers can keep players informed about which rumors are true, which are false, and which are in the middle. However, for the Jacksonville Jaguars — a team still looking for their GM after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-fires-gm-trent-baalke-whiffing-top-coaching-candidates">firing Trent Baalke</a> — Trevor Lawrence <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZMHDnC3Cw0&amp;t=898s" rel="noopener">had to rely</a> on Adam Schefter regarding rumors of him getting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-shoots-down-trevor-lawrence-steelers-trade-rumors">traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, per the Up &amp; Adams Show with Kay Adams.</p><p>“I can’t remember,” Lawrence said. “I think my agent reached out to Adam Schefter and was just like, ‘Hey, you heard anything about this?’ Because we don’t have a GM.</p><p>“Liam texted me actually I guess the day after it came out and Liam said, ‘I shouldn’t even have to say this but that’s not coming from us.’ I was like yeah, I figured. We’re all good. He didn’t have to send that. There was no doubt on my side.”</p><p>So, at least in his interview with Kay Adams, Lawrence said he didn’t doubt that the rumors were false.</p><p>As the starting quarterback of a failing Jaguars team, he’s likely used to being seen in trade rumors for all other 31 teams.</p><p>Considering the Steelers’ quarterback dilemma, Lawrence’s name was in a rumor that sent him to Pittsburgh to play under head coach Mike Tomlin.</p><p>Now, that trade — or really any trade involving the Jaguars’ quarterback — doesn’t make much sense because Lawrence recently signed a $275 million contract extension. If the Jaguars were to trade him this offseason, Jacksonville would take on <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72380/trevor-lawrence" rel="noopener">$100 million of dead cap space</a>.</p><p>Why on earth would a team do something like that?</p><p>But — although Lawrence mentioned that he likes Tomlin — he reiterated that he’s in Jacksonville for the long run.</p><h2><b>Trevor Lawrence has no interest playing anywhere but Jaguars</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Trevor-Lawrence.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even though the Jaguars haven’t accomplished much since they drafted Lawrence with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-draft-news-jaguars-select-trevor-lawrence-with-no-1-pick">No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft</a>, the former Clemson quarterback doesn’t want to play elsewhere.</p><p>Well, at least that’s what he told Adams on his appearance on the <i>Up &amp; Adams Show with Kay Adams</i>.</p><p>“I like coach Tomlin,” Lawrence said. “He’s a good guy. But, no. I’m set here. Like I said, we love Jacksonville. This is home for us. And there’s a lot more on the football side that we have yet to accomplish here. I’m excited about what we’re building. The future is very bright, and I want to be the guy here for a long time.”</p><p>Now, this was a very politician-esque response from Lawrence. He’s a pro, including being a pro with the media.</p><p>But Adams wasn’t buying it.</p><p>“Trevor, what are you building,” Adams asked cheekily. “Because there’s not a GM, the combine is next week. Are you going to Indy? Are you going to St. Elmos and doing the horseradish cocktail sauce thing? Like, who’s making these decisions?”</p><p>Lawrence reiterated his confidence to Adams, remaining an absolute pro about a rather odd situation.</p><p>“We’ll have somebody,” Lawrence said. “I’m confident in that.

Originally from the small town of Elba, New York, Sonny received his degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Jacksonville Jaguars</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>In each of Trevor Lawrence’s four seasons as the starting quarterback in Duval County, the Jacksonville Jaguars have had a different pass-catcher lead the team in receiving yards. With the emergence of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rookie-of-the-year-power-rankings-handicapping-historically-great-rookie-class">Brian Thomas, who led all<i> </i>NFL rookies in receiving last season with 1,282 yards</a>, this may change, but the point here is that since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-draft-news-jaguars-select-trevor-lawrence-with-no-1-pick">Jacksonville used the 1st overall pick on Lawrence</a> in the 2021 NFL Draft, his supporting cast has been in flux.</p><p>Consistency and familiarity, along with top-tier talent, is the key for creating fertile ground in which any quarterback can continue to improve, excel, and grow in the NFL. The Lawrence-to-Thomas pairing is one that Jags fans hope they’ll be able to see for years to come, but why stop there if you’re trying to put Trevor Lawrence in the best position possible to take the franchise to heights it’s never reached before? Why not bring in <i>another </i>familiar face… one who Lawrence played alongside in a consecutive National Championship games while at Clemson?</p><p>While recent reports indicate that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-bengals-tag-tee-higgins-bombshell-twist">Cincinnati Bengals plan to use the franchise tag on wide receiver Tee Higgins</a>, it’s still theoretically possible that Higgins could avoid a second consecutive franchise tag and instead become a free agent. And if that’s the case, Trevor Lawrence is already <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1046&amp;v=GZMHDnC3Cw0&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="noopener">preparing a pitch to reunite</a> with his former star receiver.</p><p>“Tee is awesome, we have a history for sure so that guy, no matter where he goes, obviously I’d love to be throwing to him again, but no matter where he goes, he’s going to be a star,” Lawrence told Kay Adams. Lawrence went onto explain that he understands that staying in Cincinnati on a lucrative long-term deal along with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase would likely be Higgins’ priority, but he left the door open for the former Clemson Tiger to come to Jacksonville in case the Bengals were unwilling to use the franchise tag and eventually make that financial commitment.</p><p>“If everything goes well I’m sure he wouldn’t want to leave, but if that wasn’t the case I think would definitely be up next as far as Tee and our relationship and what we’ve done in the past. We’ve played together for 2 years, had a lot of success in college and we could definitely do that again. Jacksonville I think is a pitch in of itself as far as places to live. You’re in Florida, no state income tax, a lot of good things.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-new-jacksonville-narrows-gm-search-5-finalists">Jacksonville’s lack of a general manager</a> likely complicates things, but hey, no state income tax isn’t something to scoff at.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team whiffed on top head coaching candidates early on before deciding it needed to move on from longtime GM Trent Baalke to make the job more attractive. The strategy worked as the Jaguars <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-liam-coen-buccaneers-face-jacksonville-contract-agreement">lured Liam Coen away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> before he could sign a deal that would have made him the league’s highest paid offensive coordinator.</p><p>So the Jaguars got their offensive-minded head coach to pair with their talented, young quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who’s entering his fifth year in the pros. But then news broke that the Pittsburgh Steelers attempted to swoop in and land Lawrence in a trade that would have left all of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-liam-coen-clowned-online-duval-fail">Doo-valll County</a> in tears – and likely sent Coen back to Baker Mayfield and the Bucs on bended knee.</p><p>The only issue? There’s no evidence that such a trade was ever proposed by the Steelers as the Jaguars <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-shoots-down-trevor-lawrence-steelers-trade-rumors">shot down any Lawrence to Pittsburgh trade</a> talk.</p><p>So Lawrence is staying in Jacksonville, where Coen will set about attempting to maximize the considerable potential possessed by the former first overall draft pick. Still, news of a potential trade <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/trevor-lawrence-im-not-going-to-pittsburgh" rel="noopener">blindsided the quarterback</a>. “When [my agent] sent [news of the trade] to me, I wouldn’t say your heart drops, but you’re kind of like, ‘What?’” Lawrence explained via ProFootballTalk.</p><h2><b>Trevor Lawrence has no intention of leaving the Jaguars</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Trevor-Lawrence.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>However, soon after learning of the rumor, Lawrence realized that the no-trade clause in his contract made getting blindsided by a trade impossible. “I’d have to be on board with it – which I’m not. I’m happy here in Jacksonville. I plan on – we want to win a Super Bowl here, and I think we can do that. And I don’t want to leave Jacksonville. So, I’m happy here, obviously. I’m not going to Pittsburgh,” Lawrence said.</p><p>The Jaguars just rewarded Lawrence with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-signs-275-million-contract-extension">five-year, $275 million contract</a> prior to the 2024 season. The deal made the former Pro Bowler the second highest paid quarterback in football in terms of annual value. Lawrence is behind only Dak Prescott at $60 million per year, and he’s tied with Joe Burrow and Jordan Love at $55 million annually.</p><p>Additionally, Lawrence’s deal includes $200 million guaranteed. That’s the fifth-most guaranteed dollars in the league behind Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, Prescott and Burrow.</p><p>So it’s clear that Lawrence isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the Jaguars don’t even currently have a general manager to make such a deal after, eventually, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-ruthlessly-mocked-firing-trent-baalke-too-late">firing Baalke</a> in an effort to woo Coen. The team is currently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-new-jacksonville-narrows-gm-search-5-finalists">interviewing candidates for the GM job</a>. Of course, had Jacksonville dealt Lawrence to the Steelers just weeks after Coen’s unprecedented machinations to land the Jaguars’ head coach gig, no one wold be happier than the Bucs organization.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But after? Suddenly, it seemed like every player in the NFL was asked about their opinion on the matter, with Jameis Winston of the Cleveland Browns being no exception.</p><p>Discussing the hit during his weekly media session, Winston used his platform to make an impassioned plea to the NFL to clean things up, as <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/qb-jameis-winston-12-5-24/" rel="noopener">quarterbacks need a better way to protect themselves</a> from season-altering hits.</p><p>“Personally, as a quarterback, man, we have to be able to protect ourselves. When we’re sliding in the middle of defenders, feet first, that’s tough. They’re taught to hunt, and I think in terms of the defender, man, I do believe that sometimes you can let up, and you can let them go, but man, that’s tough. This is football that we play. And the NFL has done so much to protect the quarterback position, especially within the pocket,” Winston told reporters.</p><p>“When we’re outside the pocket…I had a play where I knew it was helmet to helmet, but I was getting sacked and I asked John (Hussey), I said, ‘John, help me’. He said, ‘Jameis, you’re getting sacked and you’re getting thrown around, I didn’t know the guy was going to hit you in the head’. You know what I’m saying? And he didn’t say that, but that’s what I heard. I know I got hit in the head. But I believe, man, it’s an unfortunate situation, and I hope Trevor is healing well. But I think as quarterbacks, when you slide feet first into a crowd of defenders, man, they’re taught to hunt. We have to find a better way to protect ourselves. And I just, I think the three-game suspension, it’s out of my control, but I just, I think everyone has a role in protecting the quarterback, defenders, and ourselves.”</p><p>Is Winston correct? Does the NFL need to either figure out a way to better enforce the rules or come up with some new ones that keep quarterbacks upright? Potentially so, but his opinion wasn’t the only one aired out by the Browns’ organization because Kevin Stefanski had plenty to say on the matter, too.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jameis-Winston-getting-sacked.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Kevin Stefanski reflects on the Trevor Lawrence hit, too</b></h2><p>Asked during his Friday media session about the Lawrence hit, Stefanski noted that he felt Trevor Lawrence was in the right on the play, as when he went to slide, Al-Shaair <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-12-6-24/" rel="noopener">should have pivoted from dropping the hammer.</a></p><p>“Obviously, you hate to see that. I mean, nobody wants to see any player in that position. It is a teaching moment for our quarterbacks that when you slide feet first, you do expose your upper body and your helmet and neck area,” Stefanski told reporters.</p><p>“So, we do teach them, obviously, in a crowd to get down headfirst. And I’m not talking about that specific play, just talking about how we’re teaching our guys. Defensively, we know when those players give themselves up, and they do go feet first, we have to do everything in our power to avoid any contact towards their head and neck area.”</p><p>Was this hit an aberration, one player taking a shot he shouldn’t have? Or was it a sign of a larger issue? It’s hard to say, but considering the maneuver got the entire NFL world talking, something is going to come out of it one way or another.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jones is one of many young players who found out recently that the NFL is a tough business that has little to no mercy on players who just can’t cut it. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-mac-jones-breaks-silence-on-turning-page-to-jaguars-after-trade">Now with the Jacksonville Jaguars</a>, Jones was the 15th overall pick of the New England Patriots in the 2021 NFL Draft.</p><p>He was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-mac-jones-real-replacing-tom-brady-epic-advice-jordan-love">supposed to be the quarterback to replace Tom Brady</a>, which is no easy task. In fact, it’s impossible. The issue for Jones is that he was barely even passable as a starting quarterback. In 42 games played in his first three seasons, he threw for 8,918 yards and 46 interceptions, which isn’t terrible, but he also threw 36 interceptions. A 46-to-36 touchdown to interception ratio just isn’t going to cut it in today’s NFL, so <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-acquires-mac-jones-in-patriots-trade">the Patriots traded him to the Jaguars</a> for a sixth-round pick this past spring as they looked to reset in the post-Bill Belichick-era.</p><p>From being the 15th overall pick and “the guy to replace the guy” in New England to Trevor Lawrence’s backup in Jacksonville, it was a hard fall from grace for Jones, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist and National Champion at Alabama.</p><p>That’s life in the NFL, though, and now Jones is in the midst of another tough reality.</p><p>Lawrence was taken No. 1 overall by the Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft and though he has shown much promise as a franchise quarterback, they unfortunately had to place him on the injured reserve recently due to a concussion he suffered in Week 13’s loss to the Houston Texans. He’s also going to be using this time to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-career-altering-move-amid-ir-decision">undergo surgery to repair the AC joint on his left shoulder</a>, so his season is done.</p><p>The reality here is that Lawrence’s tough injury luck is actually Jones’ best chance to turn his career around. He’s likely to be Jacksonville’s starter against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14 and as long as he doesn’t look terrible, there’s no reason for head coach Doug Pederson to turn to C.J. Beathard or newly-signed practice squad quarterback John Wolford for the rest of the season.</p><p>At 2-10, don’t expect the Jaguars to pull many strings to try to snag a few wins before the season is out. Pederson may think differently, but as it stands, they’re again in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. A Top Five pick in general could really help the Jaguars next season when Lawrence returns healthy, so there’s, frankly, not much reason for the “powers that be” in Jacksonville to rock the boat with five games left. Again, Pederson may not like it, but he also may not be the head coach next season.</p><p>What that means for Jones is that he’s likely going to get a five-game audition that could either sink him, or it could help him find a career resurgence.</p><h2><b>Mac Jones has a career-defining opportunity with the Jaguars </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Mac-Jones-is-now-QB1-for-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>His results so far in 2024 have been a bit discouraging. However, came come into the game when Lawrence was knocked out <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-fans-throw-trash-azeez-al-shaair-ejection">by Azeez Al-Shaair’s brutal hit</a> and he held his own. Mac Jones competed 20-of-32 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns with no picks. That gave him a 105.6 passer rating, which meant that he ultimately played one of the better games of his career. His average regular-season passer rating in New England was 84.8.</p><p>Ultimately, the Jaguars will want him to <a href="https://www.al.com/sports/2024/12/jacksonville-jaguars-turn-to-mac-jones-at-quarterback.html" rel="noopener">simply run the offense</a> and “keep the train” on the tracks, per se.</p><p>“We just want Mac to be Mac. Don’t have to do anything special. Just make the plays that come to him, deliver the football where it needs to go, put us in the right run if we need to, change protection – all that stuff he’s capable of doing,” Pederson said on Wednesday, per AL.com. “I thought he did a nice job of that on Sunday. We had the two drives there for touchdowns and the 2-point conversion. He sees the field extremely well, great communication on the sideline and all things that have shown us that he’s very capable of to lead this team.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jaguars also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-trevor-lawrence-practice-injury">lost starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence to the IR</a> during the AFC South clash after a brutal hit by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. With Lawrence’s season likely over, Jacksonville will turn to backup QB Mac Jones.</p><p>Despite being officially eliminated from postseason contention, the Jaguars got Jones some much <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1864415787676586129" rel="noopener">needed receiving help</a>. Jacksonville has claimed Josh Reynolds off waivers, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo on X.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-part-ways-ex-lions-wr-after-mnf-win">Denver Broncos released Reynolds</a> on Tuesday. The eighth-year veteran <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-denver-signs-ex-lions-receiver-josh-reynolds-14-million-deal">signed a two-year, $14 million deal</a> with Denver prior to the 2024 season. Reynolds was brought in to help fill the void left at receiver when the Broncos traded Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>However, Reynolds landed on the IR after breaking a finger in Week 5. Denver designated him to return from injured reserve, opening his 21-day window on November 13. Instead of adding him to the active roster or moving him back to the IR for the rest of the season, the Broncos waived Reynolds.</p><h2><b>The Jaguars claimed former Broncos’ WR Josh Reynolds off waivers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Josh-Reynolds_4e01a0.jpg"><figcaption>Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 2-10 Jaguars have had miserable injury luck in 2024. The team lost wideout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-christian-kirk-suffers-brutal-season-ending-injury-loss-packers">Christian Kirk to a season-ending broken collarbone</a> in Week 8. Jacksonville then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonvilles-woes-continue-crushing-gabe-davis-injury-update">lost Gabe Davis to a knee injury</a> in Week 11. Davis tore his meniscus and will miss the remainder of the season.</p><p>While rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is playing well, leading the team with 46 catches for 765 yards and six touchdowns, there’s little depth behind the 2024 first-rounder. The Jaguars were relying heavily on 2023 sixth round pick Parker Washington in their Week 13 loss to the Texans.</p><p>Jacksonville hopes Reynolds provides Jones with another pass catching option while also bringing valuable veteran leadership. Reynolds reached the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in his second year in the league. He had his most productive season in 2023 with the Detroit Lions, catching 40 passes for 608 yards and five touchdowns.</p><p>The Jaguars’ offense is now in the hands of Jones. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-azeez-al-shaair-suspended-trevor-lawrence-hit">Al-Shaair was suspended three games</a> for the hit that concussed Lawrence. While the sixth-year veteran wrote an apology for the play and claimed he didn’t intend to hurt anyone, Jaguars head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-calls-out-azeez-al-shaair-dirty-hit-trevor-lawrence">Doug Pederson believes the hit was dirty</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
