At this point, it seems like the Jacksonville Jaguars will let linebacker Devin Lloyd test free agency. Ideally, they would love to keep what became an integral piece of their defense last year. However, re-signing him appears to be highly unlikely because the Jags are dealing with a cap crunch. The good news is that they'll have options to replace the 2025 Second-Team All-Pro.
Nakobe Dean comes with injury flags but has previously shown playmaking skills with the Philadelphia Eagles. If he hits the open market, he should be significantly cheaper, which could make him an alternative to Lloyd.
