The Jacksonville Jaguars have transformed their edge rusher position from a major weakness to one of depth by signing Emmanuel Ogbah and Dennis Gardeck. Gardeck, who has spent his last seven seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, joins a robust defensive unit in Jacksonville. In his career, Gardeck has recorded 17 sacks, showcasing his ability to contribute despite not being a primary pass-rusher. His best seasons came in 2020 and 2023, where he tallied 13 of his career sacks.

Notably, Gardeck's production in 2023 was particularly impressive considering he only played seven games, still managing to secure three sacks. His consistency and experience as a rotational piece should bolster the Jaguars' defensive strength moving forward, especially as they look to enhance their performance in upcoming seasons.
