Jaguars decline 5th-year option on left tackle Luke Joeckel
The Jacksonville Jaguars declined left tackle Luke Joeckel's fifth-year option.
What It Means:
This was expected after Joeckel struggled mightily his first three seasons, and lost his starting job to free agent pickup Kelvin Beachum. Joeckel has not shown the ability to handle himself in an NFL running game, and has been pulverized in pass protection. He was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 draft. The No. 1 pick in that draft -- Chiefs LT Eric Fisher -- has been only slightly better.
The Jaguars gave up 51 sacks in 2015, which were the fourth-most allowed in the league.
