The 2021 edition of NFL free agency has officially begun for the Jacksonville Jaguars and... there’s been no splash signing yet. There have been a few big names taken off the board, but we’re not worried.
Yet.
We’re going to try and gather every piece of news, every rumor, and every update in our live blogs through the rest of the week right here. We love you all.

5:10 PM: Another veteran defensive lineman. Malcolm Brown will fit in nicely at the nose tackle position. I doubt the Jaguars gave up anything more than a late Day 3 pick.
Source: The #Saints have traded DL Malcolm Brown to the #Jaguars.

1:33 PM: Jaguars plan to be at full capacity for the 2021 season, however the international series is still up in the air and probably unlikely.
JUST IN: Jaguars say “the NFL has yet to determine the feasibility of the International Series restarting in 2021 after pausing in 2020 due to COVID-19. The Jaguars currently do not have an agreement with the league to play an annual home game in London”

10:04 AM: I hope Bill Belichick drafts Kyle Pitts.
