"Obviously you can take a peak at expiring contracts on our roster and see which side of the ball has more," he said "At this point walking into the offseason, corner is a position that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts. By default, you can expect there to be a higher emphasis on his placement [at corner]."
"At his season-ending news conference, general manager James Gladstone said Hunter would be be a two-way player again in 2026. Whether he'll be a cornerback first and then a receiver -- as Gladstone hinted -- or a receiver first and then a cornerback remains to be seen."
"Hunter finished his rookie season as more of a receiver than corner. He played 67% of the team's offensive snaps and 36% of the defensive snaps -- mainly coming in when the Jaguars were in nickel -- before the non-contact knee injury he suffered in practice on Oct. 30 required season-ending surgery."
The Jacksonville Jaguars concluded their 2025 season and have begun preparing for 2026. Travis Hunter is slated to resume a two-way role after season-ending knee surgery, with an apparent greater emphasis on cornerback due to expiring contracts at that position. Hunter logged 67% of offensive snaps and 36% of defensive snaps as a rookie before the injury. The Jaguars have three cornerbacks with expiring deals and two receivers with expiring deals, driving roster decisions. Potential alignment could feature Hunter at one corner with Jourdan Lewis opposite him and Hunter entering nickel packages as needed.
