Jacksonville Jaguars Release Zay Jones and Joey Slye

The Jacksonville Jaguars have cut ties with wide receiver Zay Jones and kicker Joey Slye, following strategic draft picks that reshaped their roster.

Zay Jones was released by the Jaguars, saving the team $4.18 million against the salary cap but incurring $6.57 million in dead money.
The Jaguars' decision comes after drafting wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and kicker Cam Little, signaling a shift towards younger talents.
Jones' performance dipped last season due to injuries, managing only 34 catches for 321 yards in nine games.
Potential return to Buffalo Bills speculated for Jones, as the team may seek veteran presence after recent trades and draft picks.
Joey Slye, also released, had a brief tenure with the Jaguars, making 79.2% of his field goals last season.
