After starting all 17 games for the Jaguars a year ago, Malcom Brown has been released, the team announced Wednesday.
The move will save the team $3 million against the salary cap, but cost it $4.5 million in dead money, per ESPN.
Brown was acquired by Jacksonville via trade with the Saints in March 2021, sending a seventh-round pick to New Orleans in exchange for the defensive tackle. The team signed him to a two-year, $11 million extension after the deal.
He recorded 57 total tackles—a career high—in his sole year with the Jags, adding two sacks.
