The Jaguars announced that they’ve re-signed offensive lineman Josh Wells, who was set to become a restricted free agent this offseason. Terms of the deal were not announced.

Given that he that he hasn’t accrued four NFL seasons, Wells could have simply been retained via an RFA tender, which means the Jaguars likely signed Wells for a cost cheaper than the original round level value (worth roughly $1.75MM). Hindered by thumb injuries during the past two seasons, Wells has only managed to appear in only five games since 2015. Last year, the 26-year-old played on just 26 total snaps — 11 on offense, 15 on special teams.
Jacksonville has been relatively active this week, as they’ve re-signed defensive tackle Abry Jones and wide receiver Arrelious Benn, restructured the contract of quarterback Chad Henne, declined left tackle Kelvin Beachum‘s option, and are close to a trade for veteran offensive lineman Branden Albert.
