Jaguars Sign DL Sealver Siliga

The Jaguars have signed defensive tackle Sealver Siliga, according to agent David Canter (Twitter link). Details of the deal are not known, but it’s likely a one-year pact with little or no guaranteed money involved. 

After re-signing with the Bucs on a one-year deal worth up to $1.5MM, Siliga appeared in eight games as a reserve with eight total tackles. He had a workout with Lions last month, but it has been a quiet offseason for him otherwise.

Although he hasn’t done a whole lot in the past two years with Tampa Bay, Siliga has seen significant playing time in the past. Between 2014 and 2015, Siliga started nine games (in 20 appearances) for the Patriots, collecting 60 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

With the Jaguars, Siliga will fight for a roster spot behind starting defensive tackles Marcell Dareus and Malik Jackson. First-round pick Taven Bryan projects to be the first defensive tackle off of the bench and Abry Jones should be in line for playing time, but the competition is fairly open after that.
