Jaguars make Tramaine Brock signing official, announce other roster moves

The Jags have officially signed veteran cornerback Tramaine Brock who will bring over a decade of experience to the team.

After bringing him in for a visit, the Jacksonville Jaguars have made the signing of veteran cornerback Tramaine Brock official. Additionally, the team announced that they waived rookie cornerback Kobe Williams, would be bringing defensive tackle Carl Davis back, and the signing of Caraun Reid (see details here).

Brock is a player who has a connection with Jags director of player personnel,Ā Trent Baalke, who was in the San Fransisco 49ers’ front office when Brock played for the team. He’ll bring in over a decade worth of experience to a Jags young cornerback group that is spearheaded with Tre Herndon and rookie C.J. Henderson, who most believe could be the starting duo in the regular season.

Brock has been a journeyman player in the league making notable stops with theĀ Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and Arizona Cardinals to name a few. He’ll enter the 2020 season with 56 starts, 262 total tackles, and 11 picks on his career.

Davis is a player who entered this offseason on the Jags’ roster, but they released him on May 12. However, with them losing defensive tackle Al Woods, who opted out due to concerns for the coronavirus, and Dontavius Russell and Brian Price to injured reserve, the team seemingly wanted to add a familiar face. Before he was released, he had been with the Jags since November of 2019, playing in two games and registering a tackle.

As for Williams, he was one of the more intriguing undrafted rookie free-agent signings of April’s draft. With respectable coverage grades coming out of Arizona State, some thought he could compete for a spot on the back end of the roster but Brock’s signing gave them a comfortable number at corner.

The following roster moves now puts the Jags at 80 players, a number they had until Aug. 16 to get to.
