The Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they’ve released DL Adam Gotsis on Thursday to make room for LB Caleb Johnson, who was claimed off waivers from the Bears.
Gotsis, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Broncos back in 2016. He played out his four-year, $3.9 million contract with Denver and made a base salary of $986,987 for the 2019 season.
He was testing unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career when the Broncos let him walk because of a knee injury. There had been some doubt about whether Gotsis would be ready for the start of the season but he signed a deal with Jacksonville ahead of the 2020 season.
Gotsis re-signed with the Jaguars on one-year deals each of the past two seasons.
In 2021, Gotsis appeared in 16 games for the Jaguars and recorded 27 tackles and three sacks.
