Jaguars Podcast: Breaking Down Brandon McManus, DeAndre Hopkins And More

In this week's episode, John and Gus talk Brandon McManus, the optics of a potential DeAndre Hopkins move, and more.

The Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off their second week of Organized Team Activities this week, bringing us one week closer to seeing the Jaguars suit up in Week 1.

To brak down what we have seen at OTAs to this point, John and Gus go over all of the biggest factors -- specifically the offensive line and how the unit could shake out over the first months of the season.

Also in this week's episode, John and Gus debate the pros and cons of the Jaguars potentially signing former Pro Bowl and All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Does Hopkins have enough left in the tank to justify not adding to the defense? Or is Hopkins on the down slide and not worth investing in due to the other big-money options at wide receiver and tight end? 

John and Gus also go over the Jaguars' decision to release 2022 kicker Riley Patterson and replace him with former Denver Bronco Brandon McManus. McManus was surprisingly released by the Broncos last week before the Jaguars quickly signed him.

Will McManus truly change that much for the Jaguars and Doug Pederson's scoring strategy, or are the Jaguars making a risky move to cut ties with the reliable Patterson for an older kicker who wasn't overly consistent a year ago with the Broncos?
