Jacksonville's defensive gaps are real. The offensive line ones too.

Dane Jackson's retirement last week removed a depth piece the secondary was counting on heading into camp — a corner who signed in June and never played a snap here. I've noted the corner room twice already, and nothing has changed on that front. What's worth adding now is that the secondary concern doesn't stand alone.

At defensive tackle, DaVon Hamilton is the only player at that position who logged meaningful snaps last season. The depth behind him — Quinton Bohanna, Ruke Orhorhoro — hasn't been tested in game action. That's a thin rotation for a full season, and it's been a quiet need all offseason. Up front on offense, Cole Van Lanen and Garrett DiGiorgio remain out as of late July, which puts real pressure on the interior depth before a single preseason snap.

None of this is a crisis in isolation. Jacksonville finished 2025 as a 13-win team and the offensive core — Lawrence, Etienne, Thomas, a healthy Travis Hunter now cleared for camp — is intact. But the win total last year outran the underlying point differential by a meaningful margin, and teams that win close games at that rate tend to need roster depth when things tighten up. Right now, the depth is exactly where it's thin.
