On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills released tight end Jacob Hollister to the surprise of many fans and reporters. Hollister had been the number 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox all summer and third TE Tommy Sweeney spent 2020 on the sideline and was hurt through a large chunk of the preseason. On Thursday, he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Because Hollister was a vested veteran with at least four years of NFL experience, he was not subject to the waiver wire. The Jaguars would have ended up with him anyway, as they are the top team on the waiver list.
