The Shahid Khan-owned Jacksonville Jaguars announced via their official social media handle that they’ve opted to part ways with GM Dave Caldwell.

The Jaguars have made a 1-10 start to their 2020 NFL season. And Caldwell has expectedly faced the consequences of that poor run.

Dave arrived in Jacksonville in 2013 but only registered 1 winning season in his 8 years with the franchise. That came in 2017 when he was joined by Tom Coughlin in the front office.

Then it was Brett Veach who got an in-house promotion to GM. Now, Borgonzi is expected to follow suit. We expect his name to pop up in forthcoming rumors.
