Jaguars’ Roster Moves
The Jacksonville Jaguars recently undertook a series of roster transactions aimed at enhancing their salary-cap situation. One significant move involved informing wide receiver Josh Reynolds of his impending release. This decision resulted in a substantial $4.26 million cap space gain for the team. Reynolds, a seasoned wideout, had been acquired by Jacksonville in December following his tenure with the Denver Broncos.
Reynolds’ Turbulent Journey
During his time with the Broncos, Reynolds faced a harrowing incident involving a late-night shooting that left him wounded in the arm and head. Reflecting on this challenging period, Reynolds expressed his desire to move past it, emphasizing his gratitude for his current opportunity with the Jaguars. Despite his limited on-field contributions, with only 12 receptions in five games for Denver and a solitary catch for 11 yards with Jacksonville, Reynolds’ journey underscores the resilience required to navigate adversity in professional sports.
Impactful Roster Decisions
In addition to parting ways with Reynolds, the Jaguars executed further roster adjustments to bolster their financial flexibility. Notably, the team opted to trade wide receiver Christian Kirk to the Houston Texans in exchange for a future seventh-round pick. Furthermore, the releases of cornerback Ronald Darby, tight end Evan Engram, and returner Devin Duvernay contributed to a substantial clearing of approximately $10.24 million in cap space through the week’s transactions.
