Jaguars expect Paul Posluszny to return in 2017

Jacksonville Jaguars middle linebacker Paul Posluszny is expected back for a seventh season with the team.

What It Means:

New executive vice president Tom Coughlin spoke highly of Posluszny at Friday's press conference. Posluszny had one of the best seasons of his career in 2016, leading the Jags in tackles (133) as usual and earning PFF's fourth-best grade for inside linebackers among 59 qualifying players. Signed only through 2017, "Poz" turns 33 in October.

The Jaguars finished last season ranked 14th in opponent-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play.
