Nocatee, Florida — General manager James Gladstone has restructured the Jacksonville Jaguars at a pace rarely seen in the NFL, bringing in 31 offseason additions as the franchise prepares to open training camp later this month.

The overhaul includes the trade acquisition of defensive tackle Ruke Orhohoro — a move that sent Maason Smith to Atlanta — along with 10 draft picks from the Jaguars' April class. The roster turnover reflects Gladstone's aggressive approach to rebuilding a team that has missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.

Training camp report dates are approaching, and several position battles loom as the most compelling storylines of the preseason. The depth chart has been reshaped at nearly every position group, creating open competition that coaches hope will elevate the overall talent level.

For fans across St. Johns County and the greater Jacksonville area, the sheer volume of new faces represents a clean break from the previous regime. The Jaguars' season opener is still two months away, but the roster construction phase is nearing its conclusion — and the evaluation phase is about to begin.
