"The Jacksonville Jaguars released Darnell Savage on Tuesday, one year after signing the veteran safety to a three-year contract in free agency. Savage started 13 games in 2024, but his playing time decreased this season because the Jaguars signed Eric Murray in free agency and veteran Andrew Wingard won the other starting safety spot. Savage was rotating with third-year player Antonio Johnson and rookie Rayuan Lane III as a backup."
"Savage's $2.25 million salary was fully guaranteed this season, and Jacksonville paid him a $4 million option bonus in March. According to OverTheCap.com, the move will cost the Jaguars $4.05 million in dead money. Savage played 48 snaps in the Jaguars' first two games and had one tackle. He started 13 games last season and had one interception, six pass breakups, and 51 tackles after playing the previous five seasons in Green Bay."
