The Jacksonville Jaguars are facing an intense competition for their safety positions heading into the new season, with Eric Murray leading the depth chart. Coaches are evaluating several players, including Caleb Ransaw, Darnell Savage, and Andrew Wingard, alongside rookie Rayuan Lane. The coaching staff has praised the camaraderie among the competitors, highlighting how they actively support each other while vying for a critical role in the defense.

Defensive backs coach Anthony Campanile noted the elite communication skills of Murray, which are essential for the free safety role. The Jaguars could focus on finding a strong safety to complement Murray's experience and leadership. Versatility will be a key trait sought in candidates, as the coaching staff aims to build a flexible defensive backfield capable of adapting to various roles.
