The Jacksonville Jaguars are facing significant changes as defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter has officially signed with the New York Giants, marking the end of his tenure with the Jaguars. The sixth-round pick from 2017 had a lackluster start to his career but found his footing over the past two seasons, showcasing improved performance. Notably, he recorded eight pressures and two sacks in the 2024 season, ranking highly in run defense among his peers.

The Jaguars have struggled to retain their free agents as they undergo a roster overhaul under new general manager James Gladstone. With the defensive line identified as a priority for improvement, the team is expected to look toward a promising draft class to bolster their defensive front. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the Jaguars will navigate this transition and address their pressing needs on defense.
