The Jacksonville Jaguars can make their 2022 playoff team even better in 2023 by adding a guy who would help make the offense elite.
The Jaguars didn't do much in free agency outside of re-signing some players. When it came to free agents, they only signed a few, and none of them were huge, game-changing signings.
So, this is the perfect opportunity to make things right, at least with what is going on in the league at the moment. In recent news, DeAndre Hopkins, the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, is being released, as they will eat all of the cap hit.
The Jaguars don't have a desperate need at wide receiver, but who wouldn't want one of the best receivers in the league on their team? Plus, he has already been linked to the team once before, so it makes sense in those regards.
Arizona Sports insider John Gambadoro reported two teams Hopkins prefers to play with. This is what Gambadoro said on his radio show:
"I'm being told Hopkins prefers to get to go to either the Jaguars or the Chargers. The interesting thing is both of those guys have wide receivers under big contracts, including the Jags and Christian Kirk. But the top two destinations for him [are] Jacksonville to play with [Head Coach Doug] Pederson and [Trevor] Lawrence and then the Chargers obviously with the chance to play with Justin Herbert. He looks at those as good possibilities."
Seeing as he was linked there has to mean something. I mean, who wouldn't want to play in the perfect Florida sunny weather, with Trevor Lawrence, Doug Pederson, and he's from South Carolina, where his hometown is about six hours from Jacksonville, which isn't too bad.
The Jaguars could end up contending for a championship if they add Hopkins, and I don't know of anyone who would argue that.
