JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (1-15)

Projected 2021 win total:

LAST YEAR: The worst season in franchise history ended with a 15-game losing streak and the firing of coach Doug Marrone. General manager Dave Caldwell was let go in late November, months after he parted with several key veterans and put Jacksonville in rebuilding mode long before the opener. Owner Shad Khan admittedly kept Caldwell and Marrone in place longer than he should have, but he wanted them to clean up salary cap and locker room messes. They essentially laid the foundation for new coach Urban Meyer, a three-time national champion coach who has revamped every aspect of the floundering organization in his six months on the job.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: Meyer, QB Trevor Lawrence, RB Travis Etienne, RB Carlos Hyde, WR Marvin Jones, TE Tim Tebow, TE Chris Manhertz, LT Walker Little, DE Roy Robertson-Harris, NT Malcom Brown, LB Damien Wilson, CB Shaquill Griffin, SS Rayshawn Jenkins, CB Tyson Campbell, FS Andre Cisco. IMPORTANT LOSSES: WR Keelan Cole, WR Chris Conley, TE Tyler Eifert.

NOTES: Jags looking to get Lawrence, the No. 1 pick in the draft, more comfortable with the offense and his new playmakers. Lawrence was limited through much of the offseason, first because he was recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder, then because of a hamstring injury. EXPECTATIONS: Betting against Meyer would be a risky move considering he’s won at each of his previous stops: Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State. Khan insists he finally “got it right” after whiffing by hiring Marrone, Tom Coughlin, Caldwell, Gus Bradley and Mike Mularkey. Khan’s take on the Meyer-Lawrence combination is “go with winners and then let them build.” While Meyer already is putting his stamp on the organization, it’s still a team that won one game last season and remains one of the youngest in the league.
