JACKSONVILLE – The planning and working continues.
And the Jaguars’ decision-makers made clear during the recent 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that they will be prepared for a busy offseason schedule that gets busier next week with the start of the 2025 NFL League Year.
That means the start of free agency. That means it’s very close to go time.
“We’re jumping right into it, but we do not feel behind by any means,” Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said.
This was last week during the combine. The team’s decision-makers, scouts and coaches are back at the Miller Electric Center this week with Coen and General Manager James Gladstone – like Coen, in his first offseason in the position – preparing for free agency while also meshing the organization and preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft in late April.
With Gladstone and Coen each meeting with the media extensively during the combine, Gladstone – first introduced to the media last Monday – provided insight into how the roster will be managed, grown and changed moving forward.
“Pure collaboration,” he said, referring to the much-discussed front office structure that also includes first-year Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli.
Gladstone, too, discussed in detail organizational philosophy regarding player traits. When discussing this, he uses the word “intangibles” – a term that figures to heavily influence what the team will seek in players both in free agency and the draft.
“You’re talking about two separate things, both on field and off field,” Gladstone said. “All of us when we think about the idea of intangibles, we probably get to the same spot without even saying anything out loud.
