The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver nearly ended up a Jacksonville Jaguar.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars found out earlier this week they would not be landing Seattle Seahawks veteran wide receiver Jake Bobo, an outcome Bobo does not appear to be too bothered by.

Obviously, it looked like there was a shot I was going to end up in Jacksonville, but in the back of my mind, I was hoping the guys upstairs would make something happen, and they did," Bobo said. "I was incredibly thankful for that. I knew where I wanted to be, I knew where home was, and I'm definitely glad it worked out."shedding tears at the idea of returning to the Seahawks. While the Jaguars made a competitive two-year offer for Bobo, the Seahawks seemingly were never going to let the restricted free agent and former undrafted free agent join the Jaguars.

Rebilas-Imagn Images Bobo's comments or less make it clear how unlikely it actually was fort the Jaguars to land him, even with the offer they put on the table. There is a strong connection between the Seahawks and Bobo, a connection that even a likely bigger role in the offense in Duval could not shake. As a result, the Jaguars will have to explore other options at wide receiver. The Jaguars' pursuit of Bobo to begin with indicates to us what kind of receiver they are looking for to fill the room aroundWhile the Jaguars have their starting trio in Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Jakobi Meyers, as well as another option in Travis Hunter, they do still need to add to the depth at the position.

Rebilas-Imagn Images The question is whether the Jaguars will go over another veteran like Bobo or instead look to April's NFL Draft, where they have 11 picks. Wide receiver is not a pressing need for the Jaguars, but the Bobo situation does show that it is on their radar. But, as Bobo clearly detailed, the odds of him ever leaving the Seahawks were slim. The Jaguars need a big body who can block and offer value on special teams, but that player is not going to be Bobo. Who it is, however, is one of many questions facing the Jaguars ahead of April.John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
