Kelvin Beachum's stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars has come to an end after one season, as the team declined his contract option.
NFL.com's Mike Garafolo first reported on Wednesday the Jaguars' decision not to pick up Beachum's contract option, which ESPN.com's Mike DiRocco confirmed on Thursday morning.
DiRocco noted that "Beachum is not a free agent until March 9, so the two sides have plenty of time to agree on a contract. By not picking up the option, however, the Jaguars run the risk that Beachum will decide to test the free-agent market and sign elsewhere.
