In a flury of moves heading into the opening of free agency, the Jacksonville Jaguars will reportedly release Pro Bowl tight end Evan Engram, per ESPN's Michael DiDocco.

Engram had one season remaining on his 2023 contract extension, after being franchise-tagged. After a 2024 season riddled with a hamstring injury and season-ending labrum surgery, Engram looked to be a questionable scheme fit entering year one of Liam Coen's offense. With the team deciding early on to release Engram, he will have an opportunity to land with a new team early on into NFL Free Agency.
Engram played in all 17 games of 2023 while setting multiple franchise tight end records - receiving yards (963), catches (114), while making the Pro Bowl. It remains to be seen if Jacksonville will decide to bring in another free agent tight end or allow Brenton Strange an opportunity to man the role in 2025.
The release would result in $13.5 millions in dead money with a $5.98 million cap savings.
Update
Minutes after the report of Evan Engram's release, NFL insider Tom Pelissero also reported that the team will also be moving on from Pro Bowl returner Devin Duvernay at the start of free agency.
