The Jacksonville Jaguars could lose a cornerback
The Jacksonville Jaguars are trying to build a roster to take the next step in the playoffs. The Jaguars made it to the Divisional Round, where they came up short against the eventual Super Bowl-winning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the Jaguars could lose a starting cornerback from the roster.
According to Jeremy Fowler with ESPN, the team is expected to release or trade cornerback Shaquill Griffin shortly. Removing Griffin would save the Jaguars over $13 million in cap space.

Griffin made the Pro Bowl in 2019. But he didn’t have his best season in 2022. According to Pro Football Focus, Griffin received his second-lowest overall seasonal grade (61.8) in 2022. He hasn’t recorded an interception since the 2020 season.
The Jaguars could use the freed-up cap space to help with other positions. According to Over The Cap, the team has about $16 million in cap space for next season.
