Urban Meyer says free agency “not good business” for league

Urban Meyer knew free agency was going to be different from recruiting, but he wasn’t really prepared for one of the most glaring discrepancies: signing guys without meeting them.

Teams are allowed to contact the agents of players who will become free agents only during the two-day period before the league year officially begins. Because that’s when most of the deals are struck, Meyer was building his team without any contact — and he hated it.

Urban Meyer indicated that Brown was perhaps his favorite signing of the offseason, and the top priority was to acquire talent along the defensive line.

3 veterans this Jaguars team can still sign

Coming off arguably the worst season in franchise history, the Jacksonville Jaguars knew they had to make meaningful changes if they wanted to turn things around and started to win games. So far, they haven’t disappointed.

The Jaguars started by moving on from head coach Doug Marrone and hiring Urban Meyer as his replacement. They also gave their coaching staff a makeover and appointed Trent Baalke as their general manager after holding the position on an interim basis late in the 2020 season.

Jacksonville can keep adding talent to their roster. There are still a few free agents available in the open market that could be had at an affordable rate. Here are three players the Jaguars should target.
