Jaguars still reportedly have Luke Joeckel in their plans
Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Luke Joeckel remains in the team's long-term plans even though they didn't exercise his fifth-year option, general manager Dave Caldwell said Thursday.
"(It's) really nothing to do with Luke but more so ... our cap situation," Caldwell claimed. "We have plenty of cap space going into next year. We’ll have more next year than we will this year and we just didn’t need to do it." The reality is, if Joeckel had performed like his draft position dictated, his option would have been picked up in a heartbeat. No longer the Jags' left tackle following the signing of Kelvin Beachum, Joeckel could be forced to compete for playing time at left guard. Right now, he's a swing tackle.
The Jaguars gave up 51 sacks in 2015, which were the fourth most in the league.
