The Jacksonville Jaguars spent most of James Gladstone's first offseason in charge of the roster trying to get rid of as many unnecessary holdovers from the Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke era as possible. That desire to remake the roster put them in a position where keeping tight end Evan Engram seemed untenable.
Engram fulfilled his full potential with Jacksonville, making a Pro Bowl while tallying just under 2,100 yards and a 114-catch season with the Jaguars. However, just a few years after handing him a huge extension, Jacksonville decided that he was not playing at a level that would justify such a preposterously big contract,
The Jaguars chose to rectify this by parting with Engram and watching him sign with Sean Payton's upstart Denver Broncos.
