Jaguars

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said the team did not pick up LT Luke Joeckel‘s fifth-year option because of their cap situation and suggested that he remains in the team’s long-term plans.

โ€œ[It] really nothing to do with Luke but more so . . . our cap situation,โ€ Caldwell said, via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. โ€œWe have plenty of cap space going into next year. Weโ€™ll have more next year than we will this year and we justย didnโ€™t need to do it. Luke, we expect him to be here for a long period of time. I talked to him. Luke did play good football this year for the most part. He had a couple games that he struggled with and he knows that but for the most part heโ€™s a good football player and weโ€™d like him to be part of this moving forward. But we justย didnโ€™t feel like we needed to pick up the option. If he plays great weโ€™ll pay him like a great player and we have the capability to do that.โ€
