The team added running back Samaje Perine and receiver Pharoh Cooper, and also showed interest in Wendell Smallwood. Now, we are hearing that they also had their sights set on potentially bolstering the defense with former Seahawks linebacker, Austin Calitro.
A total of three teams tried to claim former Seahawks LB Austin Calitro off of waivers: the Jaguars, Bengals and Broncos. Jacksonville had top priority based off of its 2018 record.
