10. Jacksonville Jaguars

Before free agency happened the Jaguars were ranked 13 on this list. Now that the Jaguars have taken a couple of the Cardinals free agents, the game has added a little more intrigue.

Defensive end Calais Campbell and offensive lineman Earl Watford will be returning to Arizona to face their former team in their first season away from the desert. It is also Jacksonville’s first visit to University of Phoenix Stadium, officially making them one of the last teams in the NFL to play a game there.

Campbell will likely bring something extra to the game that day after spending his first nine NFL seasons with the Cardinals. The Jaguars signed him a couple of weeks ago to a four-year deal worth at least a reported $30 million guaranteed.

For his part Campbell will be missed. He was gracious to fans after he left taking out a thank you ad in the local newspaper. It will be nice to get to see him play in UOP even if it is in another uniform.
