Evan Engram was entering the final season of his three-year, $41.25 million contract before the release. This move saved the team $5.98 million on the cap and carries a $13.5 million dead money charge.

He played nine games last season and finished with 47 receptions on 64 targets (7.8 yards per catch) for 365 yards with one touchdown after making the Pro Bowl in 2023.

Jacksonville Jaguars continue to make moves ahead of free agency

The Jaguars have been busy with roster construction this offseason.

The team released four players: tight end Evan Engram, cornerback Ronald Darby, wide receiver Devin Duvernay and wide receiver Josh Reynolds.

In addition, they traded wide receiver Christian Kirk for a 2026 seventh-round pick from the Houston Texans and saw starting center Mitch Morse officially announce his retirement.

New general manager James Gladstone has been reassembling the roster during his first offseason after the team finished 4-13 and fired general manager Trent Baalke following the season.

These moves resulted in the Jacksonville Jaguars now having more than $60 million in cap space before free agency officially opens.
