With the Jacksonville Jaguars on bye, attention can shift to the future—specifically, the 2027 offseason when several current players are set to hit free agency. The NFL's legal tampering window for that year opens on March 9, 2027, giving the team ample time to plan.
General manager James Gladstone has shown two distinct approaches in his tenure. In his first year, he aggressively reshaped the roster via free agency, but this past offseason was quieter. According to Over the Cap, the Jaguars have salary cap work to do if they hope to retain key players and explore outside additions.
Here is an early look at the Jaguars' 2027 free agent class.
Defensive Tackle Arik Armstead
Armstead has recorded nine quarterback pressures this season, tied for 43rd among defensive tackles. He will be 33 years old at the start of the 2027 season.
Wide Receiver Parker Washington
Washington's free-agent value continues to climb. He is the team's No. 1 wide receiver and a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence, regularly generating explosive plays.
Defensive Tackle DaVon Hamilton
Hamilton's impact as a run-stuffer doesn't always show up on the stat sheet. His ability to generate push, occupy space, and absorb blocks helps stifle opposing run games while creating opportunities for teammates.
Offensive Lineman Ezra Cleveland
Cleveland provided steady play at left guard for the Jaguars, but with shuffling needed up front, he has filled the right guard role this year. Will Wyatt Milum be ready for a starting role by next year?
Safety Antonio Johnson
Beyond his production, Johnson is a key member of Anthony Campanile's defense due to his versatility.
Linebacker Ventrell Miller
Miller is one of Pro Football Focus's highest-graded linebackers in the league. He has gotten after the quarterback, been a sound tackler, and limited pass-catchers in coverage.
