The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to release tight end Evan Engram, saving $5.98 million against their salary cap. This decision follows the recent trade of receiver Christian Kirk to the Houston Texans, marking a shift in the team's approach as they move forward without two key pass catchers for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Engram, who previously set career highs during a successful 2022 season, struggled with injuries in the past season, finishing with 47 catches. The release opens up possibilities for the Jaguars, who retain only three tight ends on their roster.
Releasing tight end Evan Engram will save the Jaguars $5.98 million against the salary cap, following the trade of receiver Christian Kirk.
The decision to part ways with Engram comes after a season marred by injuries where he caught only 47 passes for 365 yards.
Engram's previous impressive performance included setting career highs in 2022, where he caught 73 passes for 766 yards in one season.
This release indicates a significant shift in the Jaguars' roster as they aim to restructure and optimize their salary cap moving forward.
