Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dennis Gardeck will become a free agent this upcoming offseason.
So what will his next contract look like, and will the Jaguars re-sign him?
Denis Gardeck Contract Prediction
According to Spotrac, Gardke is expected to sign a one-year, $2.53 million free agent contract. Gardek is entering his age-31 season.

Spotrac used Derek Barnett, LJ Collier and Joshua Uche to compare players in terms of age, contract status and statistics to determine what a deal for Gardek might be.
Will the Jaguars re-sign Dennis Gardke?
The 2025 season is Gardke’s first season in Jacksonville, and he has played a considerable role on this team.
As a linebacker, Gardek played most of his snaps as a pass rusher, although he also saw opportunities at linebacker. Gardke finished the season with 25 pressures, three sacks and 35 tackles.
He was also a core contributor on special teams, playing in 283 games in five of six different phases.

Gardke is a player who caught the attention of Liam Cohen early last season.
With Devin Lloyd likely going elsewhere and the need for depth at defensive end, my guess is that Gardke will return — I wouldn’t be surprised if his deal lasts longer than a year.
