Jaguars announce 14 players signed to reserve/future contracts

The Jaguars made the addition of 14 players official Tuesday.

A day after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2023 season ended, the team signed 11 players to reserve/future deals, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

More than a month later, the team has finally announced those signings along with a trio of other players. One of those three is kicker Riley Patterson, whose reunion with the Jaguars popped up on the transaction wire a week ago. The other two, tight end Josh Pederson and receiver Seth Williams, spent the 2023 season with Jacksonville.

Reserve/future deals, typically a minimum-salary contract, don’t count against the team’s salary cap or roster limit until the beginning of the next league year. Essentially that means those type of contracts are a way to keep players while roster limits haven’t yet been expanded back to a maximum of 90 players, which will happen when the new league year begins in March.

The notable omission from the list is running back Snoop Conner, who was picked by the Jaguars in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft. Here’s all 14 players who were officially added to the Jaguars’ roster Tuesday on reserve/futures contracts:

Jaguars elevate CB Tevaughn Campbell, TE Josh Pederson for Week 14

The Jaguars added some cornerback and tight end depth with a few players dealing with injuries.

The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated Tevaughn Campbell and Josh Pederson from the practice squad for a Week 14 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Campbell, 30, joined the Jaguars during the 2022 season when he was signed off the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad. In his first season in Jacksonville, Campbell appeared in five games and made three tackles.

This year, he has been elevated from the practice squad two times before. The maximum is three, so the Jaguars will need to sign Campbell to the active roster if they hope to use him again in 2023 after Sunday.

Jacksonville’s cornerback depth will be tested in Week 14 with a few players dealing with injuries. Tre Herndon is out due to a concussion and Christian Braswell isn’t yet ready to return from injured reserve. The team will also be without Tyson Campbell, who was downgraded to out due to a quad injury suffered during a rough outing Monday.

Tevaughn Campbell previously spent four seasons in the Canadian Football League before stints with the New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers, and Raiders.

Pederson, son of head coach Doug Pederson, played in his first ever NFL game last week due to an injury suffered by rookie tight end Brenton Strange.

Jaguars elevate CB Tevaughn Campbell from practice squad for Week 7

The Jaguars added an extra body in the secondary with Tyson Campbell ruled out Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars added a reinforcement to their secondary Thursday by elevating Tevaughn Campbell from the practice squad.

On Wednesday, the Jaguars officially ruled out Tyson Campbell for their Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Jacksonville plans to start Montaric “Buster” Brown in his place.

Tevaughn Campbell, 30, was signed to the Jaguars’ active roster from the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad in October 2022 and appeared in five games with Jacksonville in the remainder of the year. The team was impressed enough with the midseason addition that it re-signed Campbell in March.

While he likely won’t see the field much Thursday night, the Jaguars needed the extra bodies in the secondary with Tyson Campbell out and both Gregory Junior and Christian Braswell on injured reserve.

Prior to his time on the Raiders’ practice squad, Tevaughn Campbell played two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in 30 games and making 11 starts.

Jaguars 2023 roster review: CB Tevaughn Campbell

Tevaughn Campbell didn’t see many snaps with the Jaguars in 2022, but showed enough to earn another contract from the team.

The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is still off on the horizon. Join us in the NFL’s dead zone with a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a rising young star at cornerback in Tyson Campbell. The other Campbell in the team’s secondary, Tevaughn, only saw defensive snaps in a couple games during the 2022 season.

After getting scooped up off the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad in October, Campbell played six defensive snaps in a late November game and 25 in a December game. Otherwise, he only saw time on special teams.

Still, the Canadian-native who previously played in the CFL impressed the Jaguars enough to earn another contract with the team. On a roster with little proven talent at the position, Campbell will have a chance to show he can play more snaps in 2023.

Contract (2023): $1.08 million base salary, $152,500 per game bonus, $940,000 cap hit.

Acquired: Jaguars signed Campbell off the Raiders’ practice squad on Oct. 27, 2022.

Jaguars bring back CB Tre Herndon on 1-year deal

The Jaguars reached terms on a new contract for cornerback Tre Herndon.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Saturday morning that they agreed to terms on a new deal with cornerback Tre Herndon. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, it’s a one-year, $2.6 million contract for Herndon.

The return of Herndon is a bit of a surprise as a previous report indicated the Jaguars had moved on from the cornerback and other teams were showing interest.

Herndon, 27, has spent his entire career with the Jaguars after joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He earned play time as a rookie and a starting job in 2019.

In five seasons in Jacksonville, Herndon has appeared in 67 games and made 30 starts. He has three career interceptions, one forced fumble, and one sack.

In recent years, Herndon has been primarily used out of the slot, but he has also been a liability in coverage at times. While the Jaguars have now brought back both Herndon and Tevaughn Campbell, the team will likely look to upgrade its secondary in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Jaguars re-sign CB Tevaughn Campbell to one-year deal

The Jaguars added Tevaughn Campbell in October and made sure Wednesday that the cornerback didn’t leave as a free agent.

The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t make many roster tweaks during the 2022 season, but one player they added was cornerback Tevaughn Campbell. On Wednesday, the Jaguars made sure that Campbell didn’t leave.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jaguars reached a one-year deal with Campbell to return.

While no value for the contract has been reported, it’s presumably a cheap deal as the Jaguars opted against using a tender to keep the restricted free agent. Jacksonville could’ve tendered Campbell for $2,627,000 and received the right to match any deal the cornerback got on the open market.

Campbell, 29, appeared in five games for the Jaguars after he was signed from the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad in October. Campbell was on the field for just 31 defensive snaps and 10 snaps on special teams after joining the Jaguars.

While Campbell will likely have a chance to fight for a roster spot in August, the decision to bring him back probably won’t have any impact on the team’s other offseason plans.

Jaguars reportedly signing CB Tevaughn Campbell from Raiders

The Jaguars added a veteran cornerback off the Raiders practice squad after placing Shaquill Griffin on injured reserve.

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to add cornerback Tevaughn Campbell to the active roster following the decision to shelf veteran Shaquill Griffin on the injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said that the team was adding another cornerback to the roster who was expected to be in the building before the end of the day. However, the move wasn’t on the NFL’s list of transactions Wednesday and will likely be made official on Thursday.

Campbell, 29, spent the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in 30 games with the team and starting 11. In September, Campbell was released by the Chargers and a month later he was added to the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad.

During his time with the Chargers, Campbell recorded 62 tackles, seven passes defended, and scored two touchdowns: a pick six and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.

The Raiders had Campbell on their practice squad for less than two weeks before the Jaguars decided to snag the veteran cornerback.

Chargers trim roster to 80 players

The Chargers have trimmed their roster to the league-mandated 80-player roster limit.

The Chargers had to get the roster to 80 players by 1 pm PT on Tuesday.

The team announced the players released are:

Guard Cameron Hunt

Kicker James McCourt

Cornerback Tevaughn Campbell

Linebacker Damon Lloyd

Edge defender Ty Shelby

In addition, they placed tight end Stone Smartt on reserve/non-football illness (NFI) and signed cornerback Michael Jacquet.

Campbell, Lloyd, and Shelby were waived with injury designations, which means they will revert to Reserve/Injured if they go unclaimed on waivers.

Chargers expecting good things from rookie CB Ja’Sir Taylor

Chargers rookie cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor is making his case to make the 53-man roster.

The battle in the back end of the cornerback continues to heat up as the Chargers are in the thick of training camp.

Raising plenty of eyebrows as of late is sixth-round pick, Ja’Sir Taylor.

On Tuesday, during the team’s two-minute drill, Taylor was tasked with covering star wide receiver Keenan Allen. Allen ran an out-route, Taylor read the route perfectly, and secured an interception for a touchdown off quarterback Justin Herbert.

“You see a lot of growth with him, sitting right next to Bryce Callahan picking his brain every day in meetings,” defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill said on Taylor. “His growth potential is really high right now. We expect good things from him once those bright lights come on.”

Taylor has primarily been working in the slot with the second team, but he saw extensive time with the first team during this session. He has also been playing gunner with the punt team on special teams.

Head coach Brandon Staley talked about how important it was to add cornerback depth this offseason, which he accomplished with Taylor and another summer standout, seventh-rounder Deane Leonard.

This will be one of the most monitored competitions heading into preseason play. Leonard and Taylor will be vying for one or maybe two final spots with returners Tevaughn Campbell and Kemon Hall.

At Wake Forest, Taylor logged 184 tackles, six interceptions, 24 passes defended, one sack, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries in 62 career games.

Taylor also returned kicks in his final season, averaging 26.3 yards per attempt, including one touchdown, on eight attempts.

Chargers’ defensive backs show out on Day 2 of training camp

Chargers HC Brandon Staley’s secondary additions are showing out early in training camp.

Even without Derwin James on the field, the Chargers’ secondary has been the headline act through two days of camp.

James continues to sit out of practice and work on a contract extension, which has given the other members of the group their chance to shine. On Thursday, they’ve all brought their A-game.

First, it was Ja’Sir Taylor down the sideline. Minutes later, Bryce Callahan over the middle versus Mike Williams. Third-rounder JT Woods flashed his 4.36 speed to force an incompletion against Jalen Guyton. Tevaughn Campbell got in on the action for what felt like the tenth pass breakup of the day towards the end of the session.

Defense is usually a bit quicker to get up to speed in camp, so there’s no reason to suddenly crown the secondary as the best in the league. Still, it’s mighty encouraging that today’s standouts are mostly depth pieces – with as many injuries as L.A. had last season on the back end, shoring up the depth will no doubt be a focal point as the final roster begins to take shape. This also includes offseason star Deane Leonard, who had a quieter day today but did move up the depth chart to work with the second-team defense.

James, JC Jackson, and Asante Samuel Jr. will headline this secondary, and nothing will change that in training camp. But further down the depth chart, it’s good to see young players up their confidence against one of the better offenses in the league.
