Jaguars Move On from Newsome, Focus on Defensive Tackle and Pass Rush: The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed cornerback Montaric Brown and are now shifting their focus to defensive tackle and pass rush needs. Theyve moved on from Greg Newsome, who agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants. Newsome struggled in five games with the Jaguars last season, allowing a high completion rate and several touchdowns. The Jaguars traded for him from the Cleveland Browns, hoping hed boost their secondary, but his exit was expected. The team leaders saw it as smart to cut losses rather than commit long-term. Now, with Brown locked in, cornerback isnt a top priority for the Jaguars anymore. Theyre counting on Travis Hunter to start opposite Brown full-time on defense, plus depth from guys like Jourdan Lewis and draft picks. This shift lets Jacksonville focus on bigger gaps while building around their young core for a stronger run next season.
