The Jaguars continue to mine the free agent wire, this time focusing on their pass rush with the signing of defensive end Arden Key.
Key had three disappointing seasons with the Raiders, the team that drafted him, but finally broke through last year with San Francisco. His signing adds more pass rush strength to the Jaguars, although Key is seen more of a high-end backup rather than an every-game starter.
He joins a defense that needs an infusion of players who can get to the opposing quarterback. The Jaguars had just 32 sacks last season. Only the Chiefs , Lions , Eagles and Falcons had fewer. Josh Allen led Jacksonville with 7.5 sacks last season. Dawuane Smoot followed with six.On the defensive side of the ball, the Jaguars have added linebacker Foyesade Oluokun, tackle Folorunso Fatukasi and cornerbacks Xavier Crawford and Darious Williams.
