Earlier this month, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported that the Jaguars were expected to release or try to trade Griffin. The move will save Jacksonville $13.14 million in cap space, according to NFL.com, with the new 2023 league year set to open on March 15.
Griffin signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Jaguars in March of 2021.
