AFC Notes: Jaguars, Ravens, Steelers

Jaguars

• According to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, the expectation around the NFL is that Jaguars DE Yannick Ngakoue receives the franchise tag. 
• John Oehser of the team website lists CB A.J. Bouye, DT Marcell Dareus, WR Marqise Lee and LB Jake Ryan as likely salary cap casualties this offseason. 
• Oehser writes the Jaguars are more likely to hold on to G Andrew Norwell, though they could look to upgrade left tackle and the other starting guard spot this offseason. 

Ravens

• ESPN’s Jamison Hensley writes, given Baltimore’s proclivity to target released veterans who don’t count against the compensatory pick formula, the Ravens could target Redskins DE Ryan Kerrigan or Jaguars DL Calais Campbell if released by their current teams. 
• Hensley also lists Panthers DT Gerald McCoy, who the Ravens courted last summer, as a free-agent option. Other potential interior DL additions include Rams DL Michael Brockers or Broncos DE Derek Wolfe.
• Hensley expects the Ravens to address their need at middle linebacker in the draft, with Oklahoma LB Kenneth Murray a popular mock draft choice given the Ravens’ multiple ties to the Oklahoma program. 
• According to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, the expectation around the NFL is that Ravens LB Matt Judon receives the franchise tag. 

Steelers

• According to NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo, the NFL upheld Steelers QB Mason Rudolph‘s $50,000 fine for his role in a brawl that resulted in the indefinite suspension for Browns DE Myles Garrett.
• CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reports the expectation around the NFL is there’s a good chance Steelers LB Bud Dupree receives the franchise tag.
