Jags tag Robinson again, clear path for pass rusher at No. 1
The Jacksonville Jaguars used their franchise tag on left tackle Cam Robinson for the second straight year Tuesday, guaranteeing him $16.6 million in 2022 and potentially divulging their plans for the No. 1 pick in next month's NFL draft. The former Alabama standout has started 61 games over five seasons since Jacksonville drafted him with the 34th overall pick in 2017. Bringing him back was a surprise move considering the Jaguars drafted Stanford left tackle Walker Little with the 45th overall pick last year and had plans to pair him with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the foreseeable future.

Jaguars free agency 2021: Checking out the team’s offensive needs
Any draft picks the Jaguars realize in return would be beneficial since they only spent a sixth-round pick on Minshew. In fact, the Jaguars haven’t had a tight end catch more than five touchdown passes since Lewis’ 10-touchdown season of 2010. So yes, the Jaguars need a tight end. He’s the best free agent tight end on the market. That’s how badly the Jaguars need to bolster the position.

Receivers Godwin, Robinson top franchise tag list
(AP Photo/Jason Behnken, File)The big money that accompanies franchise tags for the 2021 season is going to receivers, safeties and linemen. So wideouts Chris Godwin, who helped the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl, and Chicago's Allen Robinson were tagged just before Tuesday's NFL deadline. Barring their teams working out long-term deals by July 15, they will earn about $19 million, $18 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The going rate for safeties under their first tag is around $10.5 million, which Maye and Marcus Williams will make in New Jersey. RECEIVERSThe 25-year-old Godwin earned $2.13 million in 2020 when he had 65 receptions for 840 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games.

Four things the Jaguars should do after the bye week
The Jaguars drafted 12 players this year. If so, the Jaguars will have to allocate a sizable chunk to Robinson, who plays the premium position of left tackle. Andrew Norwell goes from being a $12 million cap hit to a $15 million cap hit, but his dead money drops from $18 million to $6 million, so the Jaguars have more flexibility to move on from him if needed. And, it would be a shock if the Jaguars would move on from Jawaan Taylor at right tackle. We saw the Jaguars in 2018 start to fray at the seams later in the season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jaguars started over at quarterback in the offseason and now get to do it all over again. Coach Doug Marrone said that they're ready for the challenge. "I think when anyone looks at it, I think the challenge is, Hey listen, we have to repeat this. Offensive tackle Cam Robinson, who hyperextended his knee during practice last week, is still working on getting back into practice. "I think that if you sit up here and you say you are not, I don't think that's accurate."

Getty ImagesJACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jaguars will likely be without two big pieces of their offensive line in Sunday's season opener against the Chiefs. Coach Doug Marrone said that left tackle Cam Robinson suffered a knee injury in Thursday's practice and is listed as doubtful to play. Robinson's backup, free agent signee Cedric Ogbuehi, is battling a hamstring injury and is listed as out on the injury report.

Cam Robinson comes off PUP list for Jaguars
Photo by George VarkanisJACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Cam Robinson cleared one hurdle in his attempt to return to the field for the Jaguars. The left tackle was removed from the physically unable to perform list on Monday and will participate in a walkthrough with the team and individual drills, coach Doug Marrone said. Robinson, entering his third season, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in last year's 31-20 win over New England. He'd been slow in making his return and Marrone said last week that he expected both Robinson and receiver Marqise Lee to be unavailable for the start of the season. Lee suffered a major knee injury in the 2018 preseason and both he and Robinson spent the year on injured reserve.
Jaguars: Still no timetable on returns for Lee, Robinson
Offensive tackle Cam Robinson and receiver Marqise Lee havent reached a point yet where the team feels like theyll be ready for the regular season, coach Doug Marrone said on Saturday. Those guys are really trying hard, but today was kind of a benchmark to try and kind of get them back. Robinson, the projected starter at left tackle, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the opening quarter of last years 31-20 win over New England. You like to get them back this week, kind of work them back a little bit, Marrone said of Lee and Robinson. Difficult to do anything afterwards, kind of puts a little bit more pressure if theyre ready and they havent done anything.Copyright 2019 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.
