JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The new NFL league year is here and the Jaguars made a bevy of signings official, but lost out on their biggest priority.
The 4 p.m. opening to the new year launched a flurry of reported signings that could officially become finalized. But the time came and went for the expected re-signing of receiver Calvin Ridley , who gave Duval County a dagger when he signed with the loathed Titans.
Jacksonville’s free agency haul from the legal tampering period included cornerback Ronald Darby , receiver Gabe Davis , kickoff returner/receiver Devin Duvernay , center Mitch Morse and safety Darnell Savage . The Jaguars also agreed to a trade with the Patriots for quarterback Mac Jones , sending a sixth-round pick to New England to acquire the former first-round pick.
The team also re-signed offensive linemen Blake Hance and Ezra Cleveland , linebacker Caleb Johnson and running back D’Ernest Johnson and safety Daniel Thomas . All five starting offensive linemen from last season return, too. The team restructured right guard Brandon Scherff’s deal to get a bit of salary cap relief.
