It’s that time of year in the NFL, we are days away from the official start of the new year in the league and many teams make the difficult, sometimes not so difficult, decision to cut many of their players with a view to the following season. . What doesn’t happen often is that a franchise congratulates someone on their birthday through social media and hours later gets rid of them. Such was the case Monday with the Jacksonville Jaguars and defensive lineman Foley Fatukasi.
The former member of the New York Jets celebrated his 29th birthday in the worst way possible, since the cats decided to thank him and now he will have to look for a new team after two seasons in Florida. He came into the league as a sixth-round pick in the 2018 draft by the New Yorkers and in 2022 he arrived in Jacksonville with a three-year, $30 million contract. In 30 games with Doug Pederson’s squad he generated only one and a half sacks.

With the move, the Jaguars save $3.5 million against the salary cap and absorb $9.3 million in dead money. It should be remembered that both Josh Allen and Calvin Ridley, two of their best weapons, are on their way to becoming free agents. NFL teams have a deadline to designate franchise players on Tuesday, March 5 at 4:00 p.m. local time in New York.
Jacksonville looked like one of the favorites in the American Conference last year before their bye week, as they went into it with a 6-2 record. Unfortunately for their fans, they fell apart after the bye week and lost six games to miss out on the playoffs.
