McCray, 29, joined the Jags in 2017 via free agency after spending time with the Buffalo Bills and seemingly has enjoyed being back in his native state of Florida. He’s mostly established himself as a special teams player under special team coordinator Joe DeCammilis, who was his coordinator with the Denver Broncos, too.
Since joining the Jags, he’s taken the field for 182 defensive snaps and 730 on special teams. While participating in 35 games, he’s accumulated 26 total tackles and 2.5 sacks while with the Jags.
The terms of his deal haven’t been revealed but they undoubtedly will be friendly on the team’s cap. Additionally, his return gives them a veteran player who is versatile and experienced, which should benefit their young locker room in many ways.
