Welcome to Huddle Up. Jaguar senior writer John Osher, NFL network analyst and former Jaguar Bucky Brooks, and senior reporter J.P. Shatterick bring you the latest on your Jacksonville Jaguars. Huddle Up starts right now. Welcome into another edition of Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, J.P. Shadrick with John Ogier. We're at the Miller Electric Center at the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville. Bucky Brooks with us in Los Angeles, and we are closing in on free agency. One week away from the start of the league year, free agency. We'll get to all that coming up. Bucky, good afternoon. How are you? What's up? Man, I'm good. How are you guys doing? Good. Ready for some football things to happen. It's all the anticipation, John, is building up.
But I don't know for what for the Jaguars. There might not be a lot going on. Well, yeah. Most Jaguars fans' body clocks tell them right now to be readying for a frenzy. Because, unfortunately for this franchise, for, what, 15 years since we've been doing a JP together, you know, 11 or 12 of the marches have been frenzied, signing, sort of desperate at times to fill needs, wanting immediate impact. I think there will be a small amount of that, but I think it's going to be really light. We can get into it later, but I think philosophically for Jaguars fans, they need to look at this offseason, even the draft a little bit, as – maybe viewed 25 and 26 as two off-seasons of building, and they did a lot of work last off-season, meaning 25, that has to sustain them moving forward.
Guys like Hainsey and Murray and Jordan Lewis, the guys they got who helped, there's not going to be an influx like that. But guess what?
What are the Jaguars' offseason expectations for 2025?
They were 13 and 4. It's best if you don't need influxes like that. So I think they are now a team that can, let's calm the cap down, let's calm it down and be steady and be more normal, Bucky. That's what it feels like to me. Yeah, no, it feels like they're in a good spot. And the thing that I like about the approach the Jaguars are seemingly taking is they're not using last year as a thing where, hey, we're good, we're going to run it back. I think internally there's a desire to build a better team, and they're not going to necessarily be impacted by the results that took place last year going 13-4. And so to me, that means always kind of maintaining or establishing a high standard for how they want the team to operate, the players they want to bring in, and ultimately the way that we want to perform on the grass.
And so I don't think they're going to be beholden to some of the things that normally – with lead teams to kind of keep the core intact. I do believe there are certain guys that they want to retain, but I also believe that they're looking to ultimately improve the team via free agency and also the draft. And some of the guys on the team can develop and grow and fill some of those roles as well in theory, right? If the coaching is there to help those guys get better and, you know, especially like the linebacker position per se, right? To me, that's the major thing. I think linebackers where we may see, you know, with those three third round picks, It feels like inside linebacker is a sweet spot there.
Bucky can speak more to that because, as you know, he is king of the draft. I've heard a lot. So sorry for jumping on that, you know, stealing your thunder there, Buck. But I think more the theme for the Jaguars next year is Milam, Ransaw, and Hunter. And more rookies, Monheim and, you know, Basial Tootin. But look... The secondary can easily improve on that. I mean, it needs to improve from last year. But Ransom and Hunter, if those two guys are what they think they are, second-year improvement in this league, Bucky, to me is how the good teams often get better. And to me, that feels like my major storyline early in the season next season. Yeah, the biggest jump that most players make is from their first to second year.
They have an understanding of the league. They have a full offseason dedicated to improvement because they're not worried about the combine and getting ready for draft stuff.
