    Nearly three years after signing Malik Jackson to a mega-deal in free agency, the Jacksonville Jaguars are moving on from the defensive tackle.

    Jacksonville informed Jackson on Friday that he will be released, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source. ESPN first reported the news.

    Jackson had three years remaining on a six-year, $85.5 million contract inked in 2016, but the defensive tackle was no longer due any guaranteed money. Jackson will count just $4 million against the cap, and the Jags will save $11 million as they likely prepare to sign quarterback Nick Foles.

    Rapoport added that the Jags tried to trade Jackson, but the money owed to him made that difficult.

    The transaction does not come as a surprise given the way Jackson’s contract was structured and how much, or little, the defensive tackle contributed last season.

    Jackson started every game during his first two seasons in Duval and recorded 14.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. But Jackson played just 61.4 percent of the Jaguars’ defensive snaps in 2018 and fewer than 30 snaps in each of Jacksonville’s final three games. The DT finished with 3.5 sacks, his fewest total since 2014.
