JACKSONVILLE – The '25 postseason is in the rearview – for the Jaguars and the rest of the NFL.
On to the 2026 offseason.
For the Jaguars, that means decisions on pending unrestricted free agents – and on whether to use the NFL's franchise/transition tag. That's all ahead of the opening of the 2026 NFL League Year in a month – and the 2026 NFL Draft in late April.
The Jaguars must negotiate an important offseason with an eye on improving a team that finished 13-4 and won the AFC South Championship in the first season under Head Coach Liam Coen, General Manager James Gladstone and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli.
Up first: Next week's opening of the "tag" window, with teams having from February 17 through March 3 to apply the NFL's franchise or transition tag – league mechanisms designed to allow teams to retain players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents.
Teams can place a franchise or transition tag on one player per offseason, after which the player may play the season on a one-year contract for the value of the tag or negotiate a long-term extension with the team.
Next after that: The March 11 start of the NFL League Year, with teams able to officially execute trades and sign unrestricted free agents from other teams beginning at 4 p.m. that day. Teams can negotiate with unrestricted free agents from others teams from March 9-11, a period sometimes called the "legal tampering" period.
