Chad Henne, Jaguars Restructure Deal

Last year, Chad Henne agreed to a two-year, $8MM deal to stay in Jacksonville. The Jaguars wanted to keep Henne on the roster for 2017, but that price was apparently too rich for their blood. Today, the Jaguars and Henne agreed to a restructured deal for the coming season, Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union tweets. The team has since confirmed the deal via press release.Chad Henne

Under the terms of his previous deal, Henne was slated to carry a $3.25MM cap number in ’17. Terms of the new deal have not yet been disclosed, but it will almost certainly be at a lower number. The QB’s previous deal also included incentives and it’s not clear if the new deal will grant him extra cash for playing time. Regardless, he’s slated to once again hold the clipboard for starter Blake Bortles.

In other Jaguars news, the team has also re-signed wide receiver Arrelious Benn.
