Jaguars Release Pro Bowl Tight End Evan Engram in Cost-Cutting Move

The decision saves Jacksonville nearly $6 million in cap space but incurs significant dead money, as the team restructures its roster after a disappointing season.

Evan Engram, a two-time Pro Bowl tight end, was released by the Jaguars as part of a roster overhaul under new management.
The move frees up $5.98 million in cap space for Jacksonville but results in a $13.5 million dead money charge for 2025.
Engram had a standout Pro Bowl season in 2023 with 114 receptions but was limited to nine games in 2024 due to hamstring and shoulder injuries.
The Jaguars are undergoing significant changes, including trading wide receiver Christian Kirk and releasing two other players to create financial flexibility.
Engram, now a free agent, is expected to attract interest from tight end-needy teams, though his recent injury history may factor into negotiations.
