Lawrence will enter the 2024 season without the presence of
Calvin Ridley, who is set to sign a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans,
Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSISLawrence suited up for one less game last season after playing all 17 in 2022, but despite Ridley's presence atop the depth chart, he took a step back in terms of passing yards (4,016 vs. 4,113), touchdowns (21 vs. 25), and increased his interception total (14 vs. eight). That said, the loss of Ridley to free agency still represents a knock to Lawrence's prospects for 2024, especially with
Zay Jones also being a speculated cap casualty. The addition of
Gabe Davis from Buffalo, who joins
Christian Kirk (groin), does something to mitigate those concerns, and the Jaguars still have plenty of time to make further moves in free agency or April's draft.
