The Jaguars are adding a receiver.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Dyami Brown is heading to Jacksonville on a one-year deal.
The initial report indicates Brown’s contract is worth $10 million, which can move up to $12 million.
Brown, 25, just completed his rookie contract with the Commanders. He set career-highs with 30 receptions and 308 receiving yards in 2024. He was on the field for 44 percent of offensive snaps in his 16 games played with three starts.
A third-round pick in 2021, Brown has 59 career catches for 784 yards with four TDs.
Brown was No. 69 on PFT’s list of the top 100 free agents in 2025.
The Jaguars have agreed to terms with free agent safety Eric Murray.
NFL Media reports that Murray will sign a three-year, $22.5 million deal with $12 million guaranteed.
Murray, 31, spent the past five seasons in Houston, where he played 70 games with 43 starts. He started 14 of the 17 games played in 2024, totaling 75 tackles, one interception, 10 pass breakups and one sack.
He spent his first three seasons in Kansas City after the Chiefs made him a fourth-round pick in 2016. He was in Cleveland in 2019 before joining the Texans.
The Jaguars also reached agreement with tight end Hunter Long, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports. The deal is two years with a base of $5 million and a max of $6 million.
He reunites with General Manager James Gladstone.
Long was with the Rams the past two seasons after two seasons with the Dolphins, who drafted him in the third round in 2021.
The Jaguars previously reached agreements with tight end Johnny Mundt, cornerback Jourdan Lewis and quarterback Nick Mullens.
The Jaguars parted ways with Evan Engram recently and they are adding a new tight end in free agency.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that they have agreed to terms on a contract with Johnny Mundt. It is a two-year deal worth $5.5 million.
Mundt spent the last three seasons with the Vikings. Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski was on the Minnesota staff all three of those years and his presence in Jacksonville might have helped pave the way for Monday’s agreement.
Mundt appeared in every game the Vikings played during his tenure and caught 55 passes for 454 yards and three touchdowns during his time in Minnesota.
Much of the focus regarding Minnesota quarterbacks has landed on free agents Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones. Another Minnesota quarterback has flown the coop.
Via NFL Media, Nick Mullens has agreed to terms with the Jaguars.
It’s reportedly a two-year, $6.5 million deal, with $3 million guaranteed.
The move reunites Mullens with Jacksonville offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, who previously was on Kevin O’Connell’s staff in Minnesota.
Mullens has 33 career regular-season appearances, and 20 starts.
It means that Mac Jones most likely won’t return to the Jaguars, and that Mullens will be the primary backup to Trevor Lawrence.
The Jaguars are set to make a significant addition to their secondary.
NFL Media reports that they have agreed to terms with cornerback Jourdan Lewis. The full terms of the deal have not been reported, but Lewis is now reportedly set to become the highest-paid nickel corner in the league.
Lewis, who is No. 79 on PFT’s list of the top free agents, was a 2017 third-round pick by the Cowboys and he’s spent his entire career in Dallas.
Lewis has played 115 regular season games over his career and has 386 tackles, 10 interceptions, 9.5 sacks, 44 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, and nine fumble recoveries in those appearances.
UPDATE 1:21 p.m. ET: It’s reportedly a three-year deal worth $30 million with $20 million fully guaranteed and $12.5 million due in 2025.
The Seahawks wouldn’t have traded quarterback Geno Smith without a clear plan for replacing him.
Currently, there’s chatter in some league circles that the plan could include making a run at making a trade.
The name to watch is Trevor Lawrence.
Yes, the Jaguars have said they won’t trade him. (The Seahawks said basically the same thing about Smith.)
Here’s one last nugget. When a report emerged last month that the Steelers had called the Jaguars about Lawrence, we were told that it wasn’t the Steelers who had called. It was the Seahawks.
If it happens, it’ll happen quickly. The fallback, we’re told, is Sam Darnold.
So stay tuned on this one. And everything else.
But not on Twitter. Check PFT and Bluesky, until further notice.
Christian Kirk’s time in Jacksonville didn’t end the way he wanted. A season-ending collarbone fracture limited him to eight games and 27 catches.
The Jaguars traded him to the Texans on Thursday, three years after he signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Jacksonville in free agency. He heads back to Texas, 90 miles from where he played his college ball at Texas A&M.
Kirk released a statement on social media Friday night, saying goodbye to the Jaguars and hello to the Texans.
“I’ve had incredible moments being a Jacksonville Jaguar,” said Kirk, who had career highs with 84 receptions for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022. “I’ll always be grateful to Duval for changing my life and my family’s, and we appreciate the love and support more than y’all will ever know! I’m thankful for the coaches and teammates I’ve had the privilege to play alongside, and I’ll truly miss putting on that Jaguars uniform. This past season has been one of the toughest because getting injured was never what I expected, no matter how common it is. Though I gave all I could to support my teammates from the sideline, not being out there with my guys on the battlefield was never easy.
“My preparation for the upcoming season is already under way, and the only way from here is up. I’ll be back stronger than ever, and I’m excited for this next chapter with the Texans. I promise it’ll be my best one yet.”
The Texans needed a No. 2 receiver to pair with Nico Collins, with Stefon Diggs and Robert Woods headed to free agency and Tank Dell’s 2025 season in doubt after ACL surgery this week.
The Jaguars are in the process of making major changes to their roster, and another big change could be acquiring Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
Recent activity has shifted the lines to make the Jaguars the new favorites to be Kupp’s 2025 team. The Jaguars are now +200 favorites at DraftKings, followed by the Broncos at +390, Chargers at +650, and Patriots, Lions and Cowboys all at +750.
New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen spent four years as an offensive coach in Los Angeles with Kupp, including two years as assistant wide receivers coach and one year as offensive coordinator. So he and Kupp know each other well, and Coen knows that Kupp has a firm understanding of the offense he wants to run in Jacksonville.
Kupp’s $20 million compensation for 2025 would be a major stumbling block, and he might have to re-work his contract for a trade to happen. But the Jaguars need to improve their wide receiver corps, and Kupp could make sense in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars are releasing four players after trading wide receiver Christian Kirk earlier Thursday, as they continue to clear cap space.
The team will cut wide receiver Devin Duvernay and cornerback Ronald Darby, NFL Media reports. Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports that tight end Evan Engram also is on his way out, and Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports adds wide receiver Josh Reynolds to the list of released players.
Duvernay’s release will save the Jaguars $2.732 million in cap space, and Engram’s departure clears $6.04 million. The Jaguars will free up another $2.44 million with Darby’s release and $4.26 million with Reynolds’ release.
Engram signed a three-year, $41.25 million contract with the team in July 2023, and Duvernay got a two-year contract last March with an $8.5 million base and a $12.5 million max value. Darby joined the Jaguars last March on two-year deal worth up to $10 million, and Jacksonville claimed Reynolds off waivers last season, taking on the two-year, $9 million deal he signed with the Broncos.
Engram caught 47 passes for 365 yards and a touchdown last season, his third in Jacksonville. Duvernay caught 11passes for 79 yards and averaged 25.1 yards on 14 kickoff returns and 8.8 yards on 19 punt returns. Reynolds made one reception for 11 yards in four games. Darby started 12 games and totaled 46 tackles, three tackles for loss and nine pass breakups.
The Jaguars, who sent Kirk to the Texans for a 2026 seventh-round pick, might not be done, either.
The Jaguars were planning to release wide receiver Christian Kirk, but they found a trade partner, according to Diana Russini of TheAthletic.com. Never mind that it’s a division rival.
The Jaguars will get a 2026 seventh-round pick that originally belonged to the Rams.
The trade will become official Tuesday.
Kirk is heading into the final season of a four-year, $72 million contract he signed with the Jaguars in 2022. He is scheduled to make $16.5 million this season, and his departure will save the Jaguars $10.437 million against their salary cap.
A year ago, Texans General Manager Nick Caserio traded a 2024 seventh-round pick for Joe Mixon and then extended the running back’s contract. The team could do the same for Kirk.
The Texans needed wide receiver help with Stefon Diggs and Robert Woods headed to free agency and Tank Dell having undergone surgery to repair a torn ACL on Wednesday. Dell previously underwent surgery to repair his lateral collateral and medial collateral ligaments, and he is expected to miss most if not all of the 2025 season.
Kirk played only eight games last season before a season-ending collarbone fracture. He made 27 catches for 379 yards and a touchdown.
In 2022, his first season in Jacksonville, Kirk started all 17 games and had career highs with 84 receptions for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns.
The Cardinals made Kirk a second-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2018, and he spent his first four seasons in Arizona.
