Jaguars defensive end Aaron Lynch will retire from the NFL, per a club announcement. Lynch, 27, leaves the Jaguars with yet another hole to fill in the front seven.

On Monday, fellow Jaguars DE Rodney Gunter arrived at the same decision. Previous to that, defensive tackle Al Woods opted out of the 2020 season, pushing his three-year, $18MM deal into 2021. All three of those players were new arrivals in Jacksonville, and none of them will be playing this year. Woods and Gunter were supposed to help fill in for Marcell Dareus and Calais Campbell. Lynch, meanwhile, was set to serve as a rotational edge rusher.
Lynch entered the league in 2014 as a fifth-round pick of the 49ers. He spent his first four seasons in SF and made a dent early with 12.5 sacks through his first two pro campaigns. Suspensions and injuries limited him to only 14 games between 2016 and 2017, and he moved on to the Bears in 2018. All together, he leaves the sport with 20 career sacks.
Wow time flys! Seems like it was just yesterday I was watching him get kicked out of Notre Dame.
It seems as though no defensive linemen want to play for Jacksonville this season
Most seasons, really.
And with the first pick in the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars pick Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson
If you see Jax is getting the 1st pick and you are Lwrence, do you go back to college for another season??
Real question, not joking..I would, rather than possibly having my career ruined by that cess pool…Or maybe pull an Eli??
