It’s been a tough couple of weeks for former New England Patriots defensive tackles.
Adam Butler, who signed a two-year deal with the Dolphins last year, was released by Miami back on Aug. 2 after failing a physical. A little over two weeks later, Malcom Brown experienced the same fate in Jacksonville.
Brown on Wednesday was officially cut by the Jaguars, who will save $3 million against the salary cup as a result of the transaction, per ESPN. However, the move also will cost Jacksonville $4.5 million in dead money.
The 28-year-old Brown, selected 32nd overall by the New England Patriots in 2015, is coming off his best NFL season to date.
