Colts, Jaguars Explore High-Profile Free Agents for Weaknesses

The Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars are both exploring free agency to address their defensive needs. The Colts are considering former Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, a two-time Pro Bowler who has shown fluctuating performance in recent seasons, particularly in run defense. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are also eyeing Allen, along with other improvements to their struggling secondary, which ranked among the worst in the NFL last season. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone emphasized the importance of bolstering the defensive front and mentioned that the team has significant salary cap space to pursue key players. In addition to Allen, the Jaguars are looking at other defensive backs, including Jevon Holland, to enhance their roster. Both teams are keen on making impactful moves in the upcoming free agency period to strengthen their respective defenses.
