Folorunso Fatukasi received some unfortunate news as he celebrated his 29th birthday, as ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the Jacksonville Jaguars released the defensive tackle on Monday.
A few hours before his release, the Jaguars wished Fatukasi a happy birthday in a post on X.
While Jacksonville's social media team was likely unaware of his impending transaction, it's still an unfortunate coincidence. Fatukasi signed with the Jaguars during the 2022 offseason for three years and $30 million (via Over The Cap). Releasing him saves the team just over $3.5 million against the cap, but also creates $9.
