The NFL playoffs continue as the conference championships get underway this weekend, but the 2022 season ended for the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, following a 27-20 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional playoffs.

Now, the attention turns to the offseason for the Jaguars. The first order of business for Jacksonville will be to decide which of its free agents to bring back for the 2023 season.

There are different types of free agents: “unrestricted free agents,” “restricted free agents” and “exclusive rights free agents.”

Here is how NFL.com defines each designation:

Unrestricted free agent (UFA): “Any player with four or more accrued seasons and an expired contract; free to negotiate and sign with any team.”

Restricted free agent (RFA): “A player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract. RFAs are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but their original team can offer them one of various qualifying offers (“tenders”) that come with the right of first refusal and/or draft-pick compensation. If the tender is withdrawn by a team, the RFA becomes an unrestricted free agent.”

Exclusive rights free agent (ERFA): “Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.”

With that in mind, here are the Jaguars whose contracts will expire at the start of the new league year (in no particular order). The below list of free agents was compiled using information from spotrac.com and overthecap.com.
