With Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Montalik Brown hitting free agency, one NFL insider believes he’s heading to another team.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano predicts where the top free agents will land. When it came to Brown, Gaziano chose the Philadelphia Eagles over the Jaguars.

“Brown, 26, made a surprising splash at last week’s combine and should draw interest from multiple teams,” Graziano wrote. “He should command a lucrative contract from a team looking for CB help but unwilling or unable to spend money in the Riq Woolen/Jaylen Watson/Jamel Dean market.”
Brown showed his ability to be a reliable starter at outside cornerback last season. He completed just 54 percent of his 68 targets on the year and gained just 10.4 yards per catch. He also had two interceptions and forced nine pass breakups.
It would make a lot of sense for the Jaguars to find a way to re-sign Brown. However, they do face a tight salary cap situation, and as Graziano noted, Brown will get his fair share on the open market, creating competition for Jacksonville.
Graziano expects Brown to receive a three-year, $30 million free-agent contract that includes $15 million guaranteed.
