Today’s reserve/futures deals:

Jacksonville Jaguars

OL Chandler Brewer, DB Tevaughn Campbell, DL D.J. Coleman, OLB De’Shaan Dixon, DB Erick Hallett II, LB Dequan Jackson, DB Amani Oruwariye, DL Esezi Otomewo, DB Ayo Oyelola, TE Josh Pederson, OL Keaton Sutherland, OL Darryl Williams, WR Seth Williams

Kansas City Chiefs

DT Isaiah Buggs

San Francisco 49ers

OL Sebastian Gutierrez, DB Kemon Hall, S Erik Harris, S Tayler Hawkins, WR Tay Martin, DL Sam Okuayinonu, LB Curtis Robinson, TE Jake Tonges, DL Spencer Waege

Oruwariye spent much of the 2023 season on the Jaguars practice squad, with the defensive back getting into just one game. The former fifth-round pick has more experience than your standard reserve/futures contract, as Oruwariye started 29 games for the Lions between 2020 and 2021. That latter season was one of his strongest, as he finished with 57 tackles, 11 passes defended, and six interceptions.

Jaguars Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents

The Jaguars stole some headlines during the draft when they selected Travon Walker with the first-overall pick. Days later, the team is still adding. The Jaguars announced the signing of 15 undrafted free agents:

Israel Antwine, DT (Oklahoma State)
Kevin Austin, WR (Notre Dame)
Shabari Davis, CB (Southeast Missouri State)
De’Shaan Dixon, OLB (Norfolk State)
Nick Ford, OL (Utah)
Benjie Franklin, CB (Tarleton State)
Grayson Gunter, TE (Southern Mississippi)
Sean Mahone, S (West Virginia)
Andrew Mevis, K (Iowa State)
Grant Morgan, LB (Arkansas)
Denzel Okafor, OL (Texas)
Gerrit Prince, TE (Alabama Birmingham)
Marcus Tatum, OL (Central Florida)
Josh Thompson, CB (Texas)
Lujuan Winningham, WR (Central Arkansas)

The most notable name on the list is Kevin Austin. The wideout had a breakout campaign with Notre Dame in 2021, finishing with 48 receptions for 888 yards and seven touchdowns. Standing at 6-2 and 215 pounds, the receiver will compete for a roster spot with fellow UDFA WR Lujuan Winningham, who had 25 touchdowns during his final three seasons at Central Arkansas.

Andrew Mevis went 20-for-23 on field goals last season and made 100 percent of his extra point tries, putting him on the NFL map. He’ll provide some competition in a room that also features Matthew Wright and Ryan Santoso.
