The offseason roster moves have started to take shape for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They moved on from three notable names when it comes to their receiving corps and return game on Thursday afternoon.
Jaguars release Evan Engram
According to sources, the Jags are releasing tight end Evan Engram. He's been a key piece to their passing game over the past three seasons. That being said, he did miss some notable time in 2024 due to injury.
With the surprising move, the Jags save $5.98M against the salary cap in 2025. The move also carries a $13.5M dead money charge. It is a peculiar move, as he had created a strong relationship with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Engram is a two-time Pro Bowl tight end. Now, a position of strength is a new position of need for the new Jaguars staff and front office.
Jaguars move on from Duvernay, Reynolds
Jacksonville is also moving on from a couple of veteran wide receivers. Devin Duvernay is set to be released. He is a two-time Pro Bowler on special teams as a returner. His role in the offense was minimal for the Jags.
Josh Reynolds is the other casualty for the Jags' WR room. Reynolds' release will save the team $4.26 million in cap space.
Of course, these subtractions also follow the retirement of center Mitch Morse and the impending trade of WR Christian Kirk. The Jags agreed to trade Kirk to the Houston Texans on Thursday afternoon. Now, arguably two of the top three receiving threats for Jacksonville are out the door.
Trevor Lawrence is surely hoping they'll replace those pass catchers with some more legitimate talent, both proven and young.
We will see how the Jags navigate free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft in the coming months.

Now, they sit at 3-11 and, according to Tankathon, would own the fourth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft if the season ended today. While they may have three games remaining, the fanbase seems to […]
