Jaguars fans — should Jacksonville bring back Devin Lloyd and/or Travis Etienne?

The former first-round picks lived up to the hype, no debate. We all have eyes. These are fantastic players who deserve the paydays they’re about to land.

The question is whether the already-overbudgeted Jaguars can afford to keep them in town.

According to Spotrac, Lloyd has a market value of $20.1 million per year. That’d put him right between Fred Warner ($21 mil) and Roquan Smith ($20 mil) for the league’s highest-paid off-ball linebackers in terms of annual earnings. Ouch!

Etienne’s projected market value of $6.8 million per year would be much easier to swallow. That’d be less than Tony Pollard ($7.25 mil), D’Andre Swift ($8 mil), and notably, the recently re-signed Javonte Williams ($8 mil). Dallas brought back Williams on a three-year, $24 million contract, which is probably the ballpark of what Etienne will land. That deal did no favors for Etienne’s camp, but on the other hand, New York’s imprisonment of Breece Hall could lead to a pretty hot market for Etienne and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III next month.

As Henry recently covered in depth here, Jacksonville’s first question this offseason is where to bring back Lloyd. More analysis on the Jaguars’ free agency is coming very soon.
