Quintin Morris has already shown the Jaguars what he can do, and now the question is where he fits in a tight end room that looks different heading into 2026.
Jacksonville brought Morris in during the 2025 offseason, then kept him around with another one-year deal this offseason worth $2 million, according to Over the Cap. He wears No. 80, and after spending last year working his way into a bigger offensive role, he enters camp trying to hold onto a spot in a crowded group.
Morris’ 2025 season was built on steady growth. By the second half of the year, he had become the Jaguars’ regular TE2 behind Brenton Strange, often getting more playing time than Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long.
His biggest value came in the trenches, where he handled blocking duties, but he was also a major piece on special teams. PFF credited him with the fourth-most snaps on the team in 2025, and he contributed in five of the six different phases over the course of the year.
The production line was modest, but useful: six catches, 55 yards and a touchdown. On special teams, his six solo tackles ranked sixth on the team.
Now the depth chart has shifted. With Nate Boerkircher added, Morris may not be the clear TE2 anymore.
Still, there’s a path for him to stay involved if the Jaguars lean more heavily on three-tight-end packages. And even if the offensive role shrinks, his special teams work keeps him in the conversation.
The roster math is tight. Brenton Strange, Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol already account for three spots, which likely leaves just one more available on the 53-man roster. That puts Morris and Hunter Long in direct competition, and Morris’ blocking and special teams value could give him the edge.

Jaguars Camp Battle Could Reshape The Offensive Line Fast
Training camp has put the Jaguars right guard spot squarely in the spotlight, and it could end up being the one place on the offensive line that changes fastest from last season. Patrick Mekari brings the kind of experience and reliability Jacksonville wanted when it signed him, while Wyatt Milum offers a different case entirely, with the kind of size and movement skills that can make a position battle feel a lot more open than it first appears.
Milum also enters the fight in a better place physically than he was earlier in his career, and that matters in a camp competition where every rep can tilt the conversation. Mekari has the contract edge and the rsum edge, but the Jaguars still have to sort out how they want that side of the line to look, and the answer may say as much about their long-term plans as it does about this summers depth chart.

Josh Hines-Allen Just Sent A Strong Message About Jaguars Respect
Josh Hines-Allens place on the NFLs Top 100 list is another reminder that the Jaguars have a defender who has become easy to notice around the league, even when the team is still fighting for broader respect. He landed at No. 48, while Trevor Lawrence checked in at No. 62, giving Jacksonville a pair of recognizable names on a list that is voted on by players and meant to reflect how peers view the game.
For Hines-Allen, the recognition comes after a season in which he kept adding to his rsum and pushed his way into the franchise record book with 56 career sacks. He finished the year with 49 tackles, 8 sacks, 28 quarterback hits and 12 tackles for loss, and his continued presence on the Top 100 only reinforces how established he has become, even if the larger conversation around the Jaguars still feels unfinished.

Jaguars Suddenly Have A Shot At The Defensive Fix Fans Want
The Jaguars search for a real interior defensive answer has taken an unexpected turn, because Vita Vea is suddenly the kind of name that can change the conversation. The Buccaneers nose tackle has long been one of the leagues most disruptive run defenders, and any team looking to stiffen the middle of its defense has to at least consider what it would mean to add a player of that caliber.
For Jacksonville, the appeal is obvious, but so is the price of doing business. Vea is in the final year of his deal, and league chatter around a trade has already centered on a significant draft-pick package, along with the challenge of fitting his next contract into the books. The Jaguars would also have to navigate a market where finances matter, especially with other suitors able to sell different kinds of advantages, which is why this is the sort of possibility that can linger without quickly turning into a simple yes or no.
