According to Jeremy Fowler, the Jaguars are releasing veteran DT Foley Fatukasi ahead of the start of the league year.
The move will save the Jaguars about $3.5 million in cap space this year and leave behind $9.3 million in dead money, per Over The Cap.
Fatukasi, 30, is a former sixth-round pick of the Jets back in 2018 out of Connecticut. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.6 million contract.
Fatukasi was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career when he signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Jaguars in 2022.
He was entering the final year of that deal and set to make a base salary of $7 million.
In 2023, Fatukasi appeared in 16 games for the Jaguars and recorded 24 total tackles, three tackles for loss, no sacks and one pass deflection.
