The Jacksonville Jaguars and Marcell Dareus have agreed to restructure is 2019 contract to free up cap space as the team heads toward free agency next week.
Per multiple sources, which include both Michael DiRocco and Field Yates of ESPN, “The deal clears $5 million in cap space for the Jaguars and lowers Dareus’ base salary from $8.335 million in 2019.”
The Jaguars are working to clear cap space to potentially sign a veteran quarterback this offseason and fill needs on the offensive side of the ball. Marcell Dareus is the second Jaguars defensive starter who has agreed to restructure his deal.
