Arden Key puts Jaguars on blast after signing with Titans

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven't done much in free agency, especially when you consider how aggressive they were last free agency. In fact, they haven't really done anything but let their players walk.
At least, that's how it feels.
In fact, their free agency has gone bad in a way. Now former players, that were just with the squad last season are blasting the team.
“With Jacksonville, it was a shock to me," Arden Key said during his Titan's introductory presser. "After the year, I thought I was going to be a Jacksonville Jaguar,” Key said in his introductory press conference for the Titans.
I think most Jaguars fans thought he would be back for the 2023 season too. But, unfortunately, that didn't happen, as it often does in the NFL. But, it was a huge surprise to Key, and it rubbed him the wrong way.
“I felt disrespected because I came in over there, built up the culture, brought a whole lot of energy, changed the city, changed the town," Key explained. "I felt like in my rightful mind, I was going to be a Jacksonville Jaguar. That didn’t happen. I still love the players, love the teammates, love the city, love the fans, but yeah, we get to see them twice."
Key finished 29th among edge rushers in total pressures with 51, per Pro Football Focus. He also finished 2022 with five sacks, the third most on the team behind Josh Allen's seven sacks and Dawuane Smoot's six sacks.
So, the Jaguars are losing a ton of production, and they have yet to replace him with anyone. Not to mention, him blasting the team definitely doesn't help the team bring in other free agents.
