Jaguars releasing two-time Pro Bowl tight end Evan Engram

The Jaguar roster update came for Evan Engram.

According to multiple reports, Jacksonville has released a veteran tight end with the team three seasons later.

ESPN reported that Jaguar will save $5.98 million while paying $13.5 million in dead money.

The Giants' first round pick (2017) landed in Jacksonville in 2022 and after a season they put together the most productive campaigns of his NFL career.

Engram caught a career-high 114 passes (Jaguar tight end record) as he scored his second Pro Bowl nod in 963 and four touchdowns.

However, the 2024 season wasn't as successful, mostly due to hamstring injuries and late lip tears in the left shoulder that require surgery in December.

He finished the season with 47 catches in just nine games.

It was a busy few days for Jacksonville. Jacksonville traded wide receiver Christian Kirk for AFC South Rival Texans on Thursday in a seven-round draft pick in 2026, according to multiple reports.

The team also cut Devin Duvernay and cornerback Ronald Darby, reported by the NFL Network.
