The message that flew on the back of a plane over EverBank Stadium didn't call out head coach Doug Pederson but instead took aim at general manager Trent Baalke.

Baalke took over as the Jaguars' general manager in 2021. He spent six years as the San Francisco 49ers' general manager and another year as their vice president of player personnel.
