The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran receiver Zay Jones on Tuesday, dumping him five days after drafting LSU's Brian Thomas Jr. with the 23rd overall pick and a day after agreeing to bring five-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry in for rookie minicamp. Jones was scheduled to count nearly $10.8 million against the salary cap in 2024, a significant payout for someone expected to be the team's fourth receiver at best. Jacksonville will eat $6.6 million in dead money to save $4.2 million this season
Five-time Pro Bowl receiver Jarvis Landry is trying to get back in the league after sitting out last season. The 31-year-old Landry will take part in Jacksonville’s rookie minicamp May 10-11, a chance to prove he’s fully healthy following a nagging ankle injury in 2022. Landry has played nine NFL seasons, including four in Miami and four in Cleveland.
