This page lists all the 2026 NFL Signings for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

Jaguars re-sign OT/G Cole Van Lanen (3 years, $51 million): A Grade
signed on 1/3/2026
I’m experiencing a Mandella Effect moment right now because I swear Cole Van Lanen’s name was Cole Van Laren. Either way, Van Lanen/Laren has been an awesome blocker for the Jaguars this year. He has played both guard spots, as well as left tackle, where he’s done his best work. In fact, Van Lanen’s move to left tackle was the start of Jacksonville’s offensive explosion. Jakobi Meyers integration into the offense was also a big factor, but Van Lanen has provided elite blind-side protection for Trevor Lawrence.
With that mind, how can you not love this contract? Van Lanen can play four positions on the offensive line, and he can do that on a very high level. He’s also just 27, so there’s no reason to expect any sort of regression.
