Brandon Scheriff
Cam Robinson
Zay Jones
Evan Engram
Gabe Davis
Ezra Cleveland
Besides the guys on rookie contracts that is who the Jags are paying money to on offense to move the ball down the field and put it in the end zone.
The offensive line is abysmal. They have three #3 WRs. They have a tight end that looks like he should be great but he can’t stay on the field and has serious issues dropping passes. I’m really not sure what they are going for here.

Fair or not, once teams give their quarterback one of those "richest QB contract in history for a day" contracts, the expectations for that QB are to turn those #3s into a 1s and 2s and compensate for the abysmal O-line. We see what the Chiefs have thrown out there for the last two seasons. I don't think there are a bunch of trade requests for the other parts of the Bills offense besides Josh Allen either. I'm not saying that Trent Baalke must keep his job by any means. What I am saying is Lawrence is supposed to be one of those QBs who can do more with less in the same ways that Allen and Mahomes have and are doing and what Justin Herbert and the other freshly minted franchise QBs are expected to do as well. That is what the money is for.
