New Additions

• DL Arik Armstead (via multiple reports) In one of the biggest signings of the offseason, the Jaguars have come to terms with the former San Francisco 49ers DL. A massive signing, literally and figuratively. The reported contract is a 3-year deal for 51 million dollars. The full terms of the guarantees and contract structure are still pending.

• WR Gabriel Davis (via Ian Rapoport) Jaguars come to terms on a three-year deal with the former Buffalo Bills (and UCF) wide receiver. The deal is reportedly worth $39 million, with $24 million guaranteed, and the potential for the contract to reach $50 million with incentives.
• C Mitch Morse (via Mike Garafolo) After visiting Jacksonville before the start of free agency, the former Buffalo Bills center signs with the Jaguars on a two-year contract worth $10.5 million with $7 million guaranteed.
• CB Ronald Darby (via Jordan Schultz) Jaguars come to terms on a two-year deal with the former Baltimore Ravens cornerback. The deal is reportedly worth a maximum of $10 million with incentives. The total amount guaranteed is still unknown at this time.
• S Darnell Savage (via Ian Rapoport) Jaguars come to terms on a three-year deal with the former Green Bay Packers safety. The deal is reportedly worth $21 million with $12.5 million guaranteed.
• QB Mac Jones (via Adam Schefter) Jaguars trade a 6th-round pick for former New England Patriots passer Michael McCorkle (Mac) Jones.
• WR Devin Duvernay (via Ian Rapoport) Jaguars come to terms on a two-year deal with the former Baltimore Ravens receiver (and two-time Pro Bowl returner). The deal is reportedly worth $8.5 million, with the ability to reach $12.5 million with incentives. He is expected to replace former Jaguars free agent Jamal Agnew.

Returning Players

• LB Josh Allen (via the Jaguars) The franchise tag places him on the books for just over $24 million in 2024, unless an extension agreement is negotiated before July.
• S Daniel Thomas (via Ian Rapoport) Signs a two-year extension worth up to $6 million, per Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.
• OG Ezra Cleveland (via Ian Rapoport) Signs a three-year extension worth $24 million with 14.2 million guaranteed. Click here for more info on Cleveland.
• DL Jeremiah Ledbetter (via the Jaguars) Contract terms are not yet known.
• OG Brandon Scherff (via Adam Schefter) Restructured contract saves the team $5 million.
• OG Blake Hance (via the Jaguars) Contract terms are not yet known.
• RB D’Ernest Johnson (via Adam Schefter) is re-signing with the team on a one-year deal. The contract terms are not yet known.
• LB Caleb Johnson (via the Jaguars) After initially testing the market, the backup linebacker and special teams ace returns to the team. The contract terms are not yet known.

Losses:

• WR Calvin Ridley (via multiple reports) Calvin Ridley signs with the Tennessee Titans. I thought this was a pretty accurate synopsis of today’s events leading to Ridley signing with Tennessee.

Players Released

• DT Folorunso Fatukasi (via the Jaguars) Saves $3.5 million in cap space, resulting in a $9.2 million dead cap.
• DB Rayshawn Jenkins (via the Jaguars) Saves $5.1 million in cap space, resulting in a $7.1 million dead cap. He has now signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
• DB Darious Williams (via the Jaguars) Saves $11.5 million in cap space, resulting in a $500k dead cap.

Rumored Interest

• WR Brandon Aiyuk via (multiple reports) Potential trade candidate from the San Francisco 49ers.

• CB L’Jarius Sneed (via USA Today) Potential tag-and-trade candidate from Kansas City.

A person with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports that the Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Jacksonville Jaguars have expressed interest in the Chiefs corner. The person told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Both sides have until mid-July to finalize a long-term extension or until the NFL’s trade deadline to part ways via trade.

• WR Mike Williams (via Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer) Free-agent WR option after recently being released from the Los Angeles Chargers. While not directly linked to the Jaguars in prior reports, he would fill a team need as an outside, contested catch, big-body receiver.

The Signing That Wasnt:

• K Wil Lutz (via Ian Rapoport) Initial reports reflected the Jaguars would be signing the Broncos kicker to replace Brandon McManus, on a 3-year deal. However, in what seems to be becoming an annual legal tampering issue, Lutz seemingly changed his mind and will remain in Denver. The Jaguars are still in need of another kicker to compete with recently re-acquired Riley Patterson.

Important Free Agency Dates

• Monday, March 11th (noon EST) – The legal tampering period begins.*
• Wednesday, March 13th (4:00 pm EST) – The 2024 league year, free agency signing period, and trading period all begin.

*During the legal tampering period, clubs can contact and enter into contract negotiations with agents of players (or the players themselves, for those without agents) who are about to become unrestricted free agents on March 13th. However, the negotiated contracts can not become official until the new league year begins on March 13th.
