1. Jacksonville Jaguars
Quarterback Blake Bortles should not be attempting an average 39 passes per game. This makes for too many darn turnovers. The Jaguars need to establish a better run game, and bringing Peterson to Florida make a lot of sense here.
Last year, T.J. Yeldon and Chris Ivory headlined a sad cast of rushers that managed a total of only five scores on the ground in 2016. Bortles added another three for a grand total of eight. Only one team in the league scored less rushing touchdowns than Jacksonville did last year.
This is not going to cut the mustard moving forward. Peterson would be a major upgrade to to get the Jaguars ground game up and running. It was only in 2015 that Peterson rushed for a league-high 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Signing Peterson for a one-year deal to provide some relief on offense to Bortles could help save the young quarterback’s career.
