2. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars are another team in need of some help on offense. At 2-11 on the season, they are 29th in the turnover department with 25 on the year.

Quarterback Blake Bortles has thrown for 21 passing touchdowns this season but he’s been a bit turnover-prone. He is second in the NFL this year with 15 interceptions. He has also been sacked quite a bit as well. Bortles has taken a sack in all but one game so far this season. He also has five fumbles this season.

Louisville’s Lamar Jackson is certainly an elusive target to take down. Granted, he was sacked 38 times this season at Louisville but with NFL linemen, maybe the outcome would be a bit different. The team already has youth in receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, going with Lamar Jackson at quarterback could take them a long way. After all, Jackson is a native of Boynton Beach, Florida roughly 300 miles away from Jacksonville. A return to his home state could be good for both parties.
