Despite the Jacksonville Jaguars 2019 season coming to a close Sunday, the team decided to make some postseason transactions by signing seven players to reserve/future contracts. Amongst the group was kicker Jon Brown, defensive tackle Brian Price, offensive linemen Ryan Pope and Blake Hance, defensive end Chuck Harris, cornerback Jayson Stanley, and receiver Charone Peake.

The team also claimed former Dallas Cowboys safety, Josh Jones, off waivers, too.

Brown, 27, has been in the leagues since 2016 after going undrafted to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was on and off the team as an offseason and preseason player but eventually ended up with the San Francisco 49ers temporarily in the spring of 2019.

Price, 25, signed with the Jags in October and spent the remainder of the year on their practice squad. Before that, he spent time with various teams like the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys amongst notables. Throughout his career, he was able to participate in 22 games and earn one start while also accumulating 20 tackles.

Pope, 22, signed with the Jags in November and was designated to their practice squad. He initially entered the league as an undrafted free-agent in 2019 to the Detroit Lions. He later joined the 49ers before joining the Jags.

Hance, 23, joined the Jags’ practice squad after final cuts and previously played for the Washington Redskins. Prior to that, he played collegiately at Northwestern University.

Harris, 21, signed with the Jags’ practice squad in November. He played collegiately at the University of Buffalo and accumulated 149 total tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss, and 12 sacks while participating in 40 games for the Bills. Afterward,  he went undrafted to the Chicago Bears last April before joining the Jags.

Stanley, 22, went undrafted to the Atlanta Falcons last April. He spent time on their practice squad and the Miami Dolphins’ before joining the Jags’ Week 16. He played cornerback while attending the University of Georgia but was converted to a receiver while with the Falcons. He appeared in 37 games with the Bulldogs in college and most of his snaps came on special teams.

Peake, 27, was a seventh-round pick of the New York Jets in 2016. After playing collegiately at Clemson, he spent three seasons with Gang Green where he accumulated 22 receptions for 214 yards and a touchdown. However, in August of 2019, he was released by the team.

Jones, 25, has participated in 35 career games for the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, who he initially entered the league with as a second-round pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Since his time in the league, he managed to register 12 starts and will enter his Jags tenure with 119 tackles, seven pass breakups, three sacks, and a pick.
