Once the NFL lockout ends, Jacksonville's first priority will be to re-sign some of their own free agents. The Jaguars will work to retain franchised tight end Marcedes Lewis, as well as retain linebacker Kirk Morrison and punter Adam Podlesh. When asked where signing Lewis to a long-term deal would fall on the team's checklist, Jaguars general manager Gene Smith replied, "at the top." "Our own players will always be our first priority," Smith said. "I've said this before that it is our objective to get a long-term deal done with Marcedes."
