• Shortly after the Jaguars traded receiver Christian Kirk to the Texans and letting wideouts Josh Reynolds and Devin Duvernay go, the team is reportedly releasing tight end Evan Engram.
• Releasing Engram will save Jacksonville $5.98 million in salary cap space, according to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco.
• Engram, 30, was limited to nine games last season due to hamstring and shoulder injuries. He caught 47 passes (on 64 targets) for 365 yards and one touchdown. The 2024-25 campaign was his third with the Jaguars after playing his first five NFL seasons with the Giants.
• Additionally, the Jaguars released cornerback Ronald Darby on Thursday. Jacksonville now has $60 million in salary cap space, according to Spotrac.
• The Commanders are bringing back leading tackler Bobby Wagner on a one-year contract, according to several reports. The deal could be worth up to $9.5 million with $8 million guaranteed, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
• Wagner, 34, led Washington with 132 tackles last season, a performance that earned him second-team All-Pro honors and his 10th Pro Bowl selection. The Commanders had the fourth-ranked defense in the NFC, allowing an average of 327.9 yards per game.

The #Commanders are re-signing standout LB Bobby Wagner, as the leader and playmaker is back with Washington, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

• The 2024-25 season was Wagner’s first with the Commanders after 11 with the Seahawks (who drafted him in the second round in 2012) and one with the Rams. He’s averaged 155 tackles during his 13-year NFL career with 2.9 sacks and eight tackles for loss.
• A day after reports that the Jaguars planned to release Christian Kirk, they end up striking a deal to trade him to Houston for a reported 2026 7th-round draft pick.
• DeVito, 26, has played 12 games in two seasons with the New York Giants. He has 1,358 passing yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions in his NFL career.

I’m told Tommy DeVito will sign his exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) tender at some point this weekend, per sources.

So the Giants will officially have one quarterback on their roster as Joe Schoen has suggested when the NFL negotiating period of free agency begins Monday.

• Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 and he’s entering the final year of his contract.
