Jags Legend Tony Boselli on Rejoining Franchise; Stadium and London Plans

The Jaguars have retooled their front office this offseason, but bringing in team legend Tony Boselli wasn’t always a guarantee.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jaguars EVP of football operations Tony Boselli needed to have a tough conversation with the CEO of the fast-growing healthcare tech startup he was working for after Jacksonville owner Shad Khan offered him his new position last month.

“This was the only job I was leaving that place for,” Boselli told Front Office Sports at the NFL Scouting Combine. 

Boselli, the No. 2 pick in the 1995 NFL Draft and first player in Jaguars history, has become an influential voice among Jacksonville fans and media and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022—but has also had quite the business career since retiring from the league in 2003.

The former left tackle worked in various consulting roles across education and government, and most recently was the president and chief growth officer for a company called all.health, which just closed a major capital funding raise a few months ago.

But taking a major front-office role with the only NFL team he ever suited up for was too good to pass up. “I have no other career aspirations,” he said. “I’m not trying to join another team or anything else. This is the only team I would have taken this role for. I had a great career in healthcare. I loved what I was doing with a successful company.”

Blocking and Tackling

Boselli helped with the tail end of the coaching search that led to hiring Liam Coen, and was heavily involved in bringing on new GM James Gladstone. All three men will report directly to Jaguars owner Shad Khan. 

“It was his vision overall of how he wanted it to be structured,” Boselli said. “When it was presented to me, I said it was a no-brainer. It’s exactly what I want to do.”

Boselli knows front offices can be complicated. “Too often, it gets all muddied,” he said. But he sees himself going back to his roots as a player to support both Coen and Gladstone. “I’m the offensive lineman of the group,” he said. “I’ve been the offensive lineman my whole life.”

Jags Will “Play Anywhere”

The Jaguars are embarking on $1.4 billion in renovations to EverBank Stadium that will reduce its capacity in 2026 and force them to play in a temporary venue in 2027. 

“We’ll play anywhere,” said Boselli, who will consult Jaguars president Mark Lamping on options that include “The Swamp” at the University of Florida (Ben Hill Griffin Stadium) and Camping World Stadium in Orlando. “I’ll work closely with him as he makes the best business decision.”

During the renovations, between 2025 and 2027, the NFL is allowing the Jaguars to move a total of up to six home games to London, where the team has played two games each of the past two seasons (and 13 overall). 

But in 2025, it will be just one London game, Boselli confirmed. The NFL has announced that the Jaguars, Browns, and Jets will host London games next season, and Jacksonville will not visit Cleveland or New York, meaning they won’t be able to double up—which led to a 3–1 overseas record the past two seasons. 

“We’re pretty used to it as an organization,” Boselli said. “We have a really tight plan. We understand what works, what does not.”

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
