The Jacksonville Jaguars were among the highest spenders in undrafted free agency following the 2026 NFL draft.
In part, this is due to the Jaguars signing a fairly big UDFA class. Originally, 18 post-draft additions were made, although just 16 remain with the team after WR Alex Bullock and OL Jordan White were placed on the reserve/retired list.
In total, the Jaguars guaranteed $2.471 million to this UDFA class, which is the second-most in the NFL this offseason, according to Spotrac. Only the Kansas City Chiefs guaranteed more at $3.08 million.
Of the Jaguars' 18 original UDFA additions, eight of those players earned guarantees of at least $200,000, per Spotrac. Three more players eclipsed the $120,000 mark.
While it's an uphill battle for all UDFAs to make the 53-man roster, the Jaguars had two players accomplish that last season under James Gladstone and Liam Coen, with defensive ends BJ Green and Danny Striggow making the team.
Throughout the season, we also saw Branson Combs and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig get their starts on the practice squad before contributing on special teams.
Others like Chandler Brayboy, Ja'Quinden Jackson, Patrick Herbert, Jabbar Muhammad, Sal Wormley, and Keivie Rose made the practice squad in 2025.
