Arrr, matey! It be a sad day on the high seas of Jacksonville, for Evan Engram be walkin' the plank after the trade o' Christian Kirk to them scallywags at Houston! Aye, the cap be tight, and now our crew's a bit lighter!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round, fer I bring ye news from the treacherous waters of the Jacksonville Jaguars, where the crew be cuttin' costs like a scallywag with a rusty cutlass! On a fateful Thursday, the mighty tight end, Evan Engram, found himself walkin’ the plank as a cap casualty, or so they say in the sea of reports!Earlier that day, the Jags traded away the veteran wide receiver, Christian Kirk, to the Houston Texans in exchange fer a pittance—a seventh-round pick in the far-off year of 2026! Kirk had a hefty cap hit of 24.1 million doubloons, but by sendin' him off, the Jags saved a wee bit o' treasure—over 10 million, to be precise!
Now, Engram, he was the second most costly lad in the crew at nearly 19.5 million doubloons! With a bit of crafty maneuverin’, the Jags are savin' under 6 million, though they be takin’ on some dead cap weight. Aye, matey, the new captain of the ship, GM James Gladstone, be lookin’ to fill the coffers for free agents while settin’ sights on the 2025 Draft.
Engram had a fair season last year, but injuries plagued him like a curse on a pirate’s ship. Now, he be searchin’ for another crew to call home, while the Jags be left with a ragtag bunch of tight ends. What a merry jest on the high seas of sport, eh? Arrr!
