Jaguars Release S Calvin Pryor

December 2nd, 2017 at 10:48am CST by Ben Levine

Calvin Pryor‘s brief tenure with the Jaguars has come to an end. John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports (via Twitter) that the team has released the veteran safety. The team has promoted defensive end Carroll Phillips from the practice squad to take the open roster spot.

Pryor was claimed off waivers from the Browns in September, although he was placed on the injured reserve shortly thereafter. The 25-year-old was activated in mid-November, and he proceeded to play in two games for the Jaguars, compiling a single tackle. It was always going to be an uphill battle for Pryor to carve out anything more than a reserve role in Jacksonville, as both Barry Church and Tashaun Gipson are listed in the top-20 of Pro Football Focus‘ rankings of the NFL’s 91 eligible safeties. On the flip side there’s reason to believe that Pryor still has something left in the tank, as he finished the 2016 campaign with 62 tackles and six passes defended in 15 games for the Jets. With Pryor now out of the picture, Peyton Thompson and Jarrod Wilson will resume their roles as the first safeties off the bench.

Phillips, an undrafted rookie out of Illinois, joined the Jaguars during the offseason, and he caught on with the practice squad after being waived in early September. The defensive end showed plenty of pass-rushing ability during his collegiate career, as he finished the 2016 campaign with nine sacks and 19 tackles for loss.

Jaguars Sign 16 UDFAs, Cut 11 Players

May 1st, 2017 at 3:46pm CST by Zachary Links

The Jaguars announced that they have signed 16 undrafted free agents. In order to make room, they have released eleven players from the roster. Here’s the full rundown:

Signed:

Caleb Bluiett, TE (Texas)
Keelan Cole, WR (Kentucky Wesleyan)
Parker Collins, C (Appalachian State)
Tim Cook, RB (Oregon State)
Jeremy Cutrer, CB (Middle Tennessee)
P.J. Davis, LB (Georgia Tech)
Hunter Dimick, DE (Utah)
Amba Etta-Tawo, WR (Syracuse)
Avery Gennesy, G (Texas A&M)
Justin Horton, LB (Jacksonville)
Tueni Lupeamanu, DT (Idaho)
I’Tavius Mathers, RB (Middle Tennessee State)
Charlie Miller, S (Dartmouth)
Carroll Phillips, DE (Illinois)

Colin Kelly, OL
Sean Porter, LB
Daryl Richardson, RB
Gannon Sinclair, TE

Arturo Uzdavinis, OL
Greg Van Roten, OL
Tony Washington, WR
Raphael Kirby, LB

Dimick led the Pac-12 in sacks last season with 13.5 and earned a first-team All-Conference selection. Prior to the draft, one NFC West Coast scout told Lance Zierlein of NFL.com that Dimick’s work ethic is admirable, but his lack of natural talent may inhibit him at the next level.

“He’s more try-hard than talented. His effort is great. I love how hard he plays, but when you are as sawed-off as he is on the edge and you can’t unlock your hips, I don’t know how he is going to see the field,” the scout said.

Horton got $25K guaranteed from the Jaguars between his $5K bonus and $20K guaranteed base, Tom Pelissero of USA Today tweets.

The Jags’ roster is now at the 90-man max.
