Jaguars may cut veteran defender Arik Armstead to save cap space

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering releasing defensive lineman Arik Armstead as a cost-cutting measure. Cutting Armstead would save the team nearly $15 million against the salary cap, which could be reallocated to improve other positions ahead of training camp. The decision comes as Armstead approaches 33 years old and after a solid season in 2025, where he recorded 5.5 sacks. Analysts suggest that despite his performance, his age and wear may make him a luxury the Jaguars cannot afford.
