Jaguars releasing ex-Giants star, two-time Pro Bowl тιԍнт end Evan Engram

The Jaguars’ roster revamp came for Evan Engram.

Jacksonville is releasing the veteran тιԍнт end after three seasons with the team, according to multiple reports.

ESPN reported the Jaguars will save $5.98 million while incurring a $13.5 million ᴅᴇᴀᴅ money charge.

The Giants’ first-round pick (2017) landed in Jacksonville in 2022, putting together the most productive campaign of his NFL career one season later.

Engram caught a career-high 114 pᴀsses — which also was a Jaguars тιԍнт end record — for 963 and four touchdowns as he earned his second Pro Bowl nod.

The 2024 season was not as successful, though, in large part because of a hamstring injury and a late-season labrum tear in his left shoulder that required surgery in December.

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

It’s been a busy few days for Jacksonville, who traded wide receiver Christian Kirk to the AFC South-rival Texans for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick on Thursday, according to multiple reports.

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