Jaguars Move Down To 53-Man Roster

August 31st, 2021 at 3:01pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Jaguars are the latest team to squeeze their roster down to 53 players Tuesday. Here are the players the Urban Meyer-led regime cut to get there:

Released:

Waived:

CB Lorenzo Burns
WR Jalen Camp
DL Doug Costin
WR Jeff Cotton Jr.
RB Nathan Cottrell
TE Tyler Davis
TE Ben Ellefson
WR Josh Hammond
WR Collin Johnson
WR Tevin Jones
QB Jake Luton
OL K.C. McDermott
RB Devine Ozigbo
OL Austen Pleasants
DB Brandon Rusnak
OL Badar Traore
OL Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms
LB Quincy Williams

Placed on reserve/NFI list:

LB Dylan Moses

Some big names at wideout appear on this list, and the Jags also released former first-round pick Phillip Dorsett earlier Tuesday. Cooper is a former All-Pro kick returner who has held regular return gigs since that 2017 breakout. The fifth-year role player was the Cardinals’ primary return man in 2019 and filled the same role with the Panthers last season. Like Dorsett, Treadwell arrived as a first-round pick. But the former Vikings draftee has not been able to find steady footing in the league.

Jacksonville drafted Williams in the 2019 third round — two rounds after younger brother Quinnen went to the Jets — but the young linebacker did not start a game in 2020. Luton did, but the Oregon State product did not profile as a steady backup option. The Jags are going with Meyer-era investments Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Beathard at QB. The Wilson move comes after the veteran safety operated as a Jags back-line starter for the past two seasons.

Jaguars Sign WR Pharoh Cooper

June 3rd, 2021 at 8:47am CST by Zachary Links

The Jaguars have agreed to sign wide receiver Pharoh Cooper (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Terms of the deal are not yet known, but it’s likely a low-cost one-year deal given Cooper’s recent track record.

Cooper, 26, put himself on the map in 2017 when he earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2017 as a return man. That year, he handled 66 combined kick and punt returns and led the NFL in yards per kickoff return (27.4). His 2018 encore wasn’t as impressive — he spent much of the year on IR, got waived by the Rams in December, and picked up by the Cardinals. Since then, he’s bounced around a bit, spending time with the Bengals and Panthers.

Cooper is now a few years removed from his best work and he hasn’t done much offensively, save for that ’17 season when he managed 32 catches for 399 yards. But, with the Jags, he’ll have a chance to reassert himself and compete with incumbent punt returner Chris Claybrooks.
