In a move many expected to happen soon, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Thursday they were releasing veteran guard Zane Beadles.
Beadles originally signed a a five-year, $30 million deal with $12.45 million guaranteed back in 2014, but the deal was frontloaded to give the Jaguars an out after two years. The Jaguars decided to take that out, saving $5.5 million in an offseason they plan to use their oodles of cap space.
This is the first of what should be a handful of roster cuts as we trudge towards free agency.
