Evan Engram, Jawaan Taylor among Jaguars' biggest free agents hoping numbers work out to keep them with the team.
Engram, after delivering career highs in catches and yards this season, should warrant a substantial raise from the one-year, $9 million deal he signed in March.
“Something great is being built here,” said Engram. “That’s not easy to do on a new team. Coming into a new situation for me this year, it wasn’t an easy process. Once you do it, you don’t want to go rebuild that. You don’t want to start over.” “I think you can say at times that does occur," said Baalke."Does it occur across the board? No, but you want to create an environment where they want to be, and Doug has done a great job. I think the entire staff has done a great job, this player group, it’s a close-knit group. When you’ve got a situation like we have, it’s tough to leave if you’re a player.
Of course, that’s easier for Taylor to say now in the Jaguars’ locker room, with emotions still stirring within all the players after a gut-wrenching, season-ending loss. “You want everything to stay intact, but there’s also the business side of football that takes over,” Manhertz said. “I’d love to be back here. Doug [Pederson], the coaching staff, the locker room, the talent we have, why would you not want to be back here?”
Peters has seen enough of the Jaguars’ operation and its support system to understand why players want to stay, as well as free agents from elsewhere targeting Jacksonville as a destination. Receiver Marvin Jones, a free agent and California native who is moving his family to San Diego this week, loved his two-year stay in Jacksonville. Though he’s looking to sign elsewhere for family reasons, Jones is certain the Jaguars will draw a lot of free agent interest.
