NFL Owners Unanimously Approve Camping World Stadium as Temporary Home for Jaguars in 2027 The Jacksonville Jaguars will temporarily relocate most of their 2027 home games to Orlando, Florida, after NFL owners approved the plan during their annual meeting in Phoenix. The decision, which was expected for months, allows the team to play 10 home games in the city during the final stages of a $1.4 billion stadium renovation in Jacksonville. The Jaguars will also host a preseason exhibition in Orlando, with up to three additional games in London, where they will continue their international schedule amid ongoing construction at EverBank Stadium. The move was finalized after NFL owners voted unanimously to grant the Jaguars temporary use of Camping World Stadium, a venue undergoing a $400 million facelift. Orlando officials had previously approved a $10 million sports-incentive package to secure the deal, which positions the city as a potential long-term NFL market. The aging stadium, which has hosted NFL games for decades, will be modernized to meet the league’s standards, including improved seating, technology, and infrastructure. The Jaguars had explored several alternatives for their temporary home, including Daytona International Speedway and Florida Field in Gainesville, but Camping World remained the top choice. General Manager James Gladstone emphasized the opportunity to expand the team’s reach, stating, “You have a chance to breach a region of the state that you otherwise wouldn’t have the luxury of doing.” The decision also aligns with the team’s broader strategy to grow its fan base, as Orlando is the largest U.S. media market without an NFL team. The Jaguars’ 2027 schedule will include seven to eight NFL games in Orlando, featuring in-state matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins.#nfl #orlando #jaguars #camping_world_stadium #everbank_stadium
Jaguars Sign Seahawks WR Jake Bobo to Offer Sheet: What It Means The Jacksonville Jaguars have entered the 2026 free agency market by extending an offer sheet to Seattle Seahawks restricted free agent wide receiver Jake Bobo, according to a source confirmed to the Times-Union on Friday. The move marks the team’s first significant free agent signing since the new league year began on March 11. ESPN’s Field Yates was the first to report the development. The Seahawks had previously placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Bobo, which would grant him a non-guaranteed 2026 salary of $3.52 million. If the Seahawks choose not to match the Jaguars’ offer, they will not receive a draft pick. The Jaguars’ offer to Bobo remains undisclosed, and the Seahawks have five days to decide whether to match it. If they do, Bobo will stay with Seattle under the same terms the Jaguars proposed. Bobo, a 6-foot-4, 207-pound wide receiver, joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and has spent the past three seasons with the team. Known for his physicality on offense, Bobo has also been a standout special teams player, contributing 67% of the Seahawks’ special teams snaps in 2024 and 45% in 2025. Through 45 career games for Seattle (three starts), he has recorded 34 receptions for 323 yards and three touchdowns. The Jaguars’ pursuit of Bobo comes amid a busy free agency period for the team. Since March 11, Jacksonville has signed only one external free agent, running back Chris Rodriguez. The team opted not to re-sign wide receiver Dyami Brown, leaving him as an unsigned, undrafted free agent. Other notable departures include running back Travis Etienne, linebacker Devin Lloyd, and safety/special teams ace Andrew Wingard.#seahawks #jaguars #jake_bobo #field_yates #demetrius_harvey
Jaguars Sign Seahawks WR Jake Bobo to Offer Sheet; What Does It Mean? The Jacksonville Jaguars are pursuing a move to strengthen their wide receiver corps by signing Seahawks restricted free agent Jake Bobo to an offer sheet. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Jaguars have extended the deal to Bobo, giving Seattle five days to match the offer. If the Seahawks decline to match, Bobo will join the Jaguars, marking a potential shift in the team’s offensive strategy. Bobo, a restricted free agent with three years of NFL experience, is entering his fourth season in the league. The Seahawks placed a right of first refusal tender on him, which means they retain the ability to match any offer he receives. This arrangement prevents Seattle from gaining draft compensation for releasing Bobo, as the team would not be eligible for any trade assets in this scenario. The Jaguars’ decision to pursue Bobo comes as they aim to bolster depth at the wide receiver position. While their current roster includes established players like Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter, the team is looking to add versatility and reliability to the back end of the unit. The other wideouts on the roster are Austin Trammell, Tim Jones, and Chandler Brayboy. Bobo’s profile aligns with the Jaguars’ needs, as he has demonstrated value as a blocker and special teams contributor. Bobo’s NFL career began with an undrafted entry in 2023 from UCLA, where he spent his first three seasons with the Seahawks. During that time, he played a key role in Seattle’s Super Bowl-winning season, including a notable 17-yard touchdown reception in the NFC Championship game. Over his three seasons, Bobo has caught 36 of 46 targets for 9.9 yards per catch, with four touchdowns.#seahawks #super_bowl #jaguars #jake_bobo #field_yates
