The Jacksonville Jaguars are going for it, gang. With a 6-2 record, general manager James Gladstone is swinging for the fences. In one afternoon, Jacksonville has landed defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, safety Jessie Bates, and nose tackle Jordan Davis.

Davis, standing in at 6-foot-6, and 340+ pounds, is a mammoth addition that should invoke dreams of John Henderson Marcus Stroud. He’s a math changer in the run game and his presence alongside Godchaux, Travon Walker, Josh Hines-Allen, and Arik Armstead gives the Jaguars one of the most physically imposing defensive fronts in all of football. It is BIG. And as of right now, there’s only one thing bigger in Jacksonville than the defensive line: the dreams for 2026.

It’s officially time to dream BIG, Jacksonville Jaguars fans

I’ll stop short of saying anything less than a Lombardi Trophy would be a disappointment for Jacksonville this season. But boy, are we close. Liam Coen’s offense is humming and has Trevor Lawrence playing the best ball of his career. The Jaguars’ defense is a ferocious unit that’s already added several starters. Today. They’re first in turnover differential and first in point differential.

And the Jaguars play in the AFC South — which is crumbling at the seams. That should only further aid Jacksonville’s swelling win total in their bid to load up enough victories to secure home field advantage in the AFC playoff field.

The stars feel like they’re aligning for something big. Bigger than Jordan Davis. And while, like I said, I’ll stop short of saying Super Bowl or bust in Jacksonville this season? This may be the best chance the Jaguars have for the foreseeable future. The buzzards of the NFL’s lifeless franchises will start circling this winter for defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile and offensive coordinator Grant Udinski. If you told me both were head coaches at this time next year, I’d believe you.

And Gladstone has accelerated the clock with his all-in trades today. He almost assuredly did his old mentor Les Snead with the Rams proud with his “eff them picks” move. The Rams are proof you can survive without premium draft capital. But only a few brave men are so bold as to fly that close to the sun. Gladstone joined their ranks today. With a playoff run that ends in a championship, it will be all be worth it. You have the green light to dream, Duval. Dream bigger than Jordan Davis, even. It’s justified.
