The Jaguars signed Clint Sessions to a large deal last offseason, giving him 29 million over 5 years with 11.5 million guaranteed and stealing a starter away from division rival Indianapolis. However, Session barely played in his first season in Jacksonville thanks to 3 concussions and didn’t play all that well when he was healthy. In fact, backup Russell Allen not only played more snaps (293 to 258), but also graded out better on ProFootballFocus.
Session is supposedly healthy now, but the Jaguars aren’t in any rush to give him his starting job back. According to the Florida Times Union, the Jaguars will make Session compete with Allen for his starting job and he’s not necessarily a lock to win that competition. At the very least, Allen will be their top reserve linebacker and a big part of their special teams this season. If he wins the starting job, it’ll make Session that much more of a free agency bust. He’s still owed a good amount of guaranteed money so the cap hit would likely be too much for the Jaguars to release Session now.
