Panthers' Trevor Etienne eager for Week One meeting with Jaguars and brother Travis
When Trevor Etienne was picked by the Panthers in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft, a top priority in the family was to check whether the Panthers play the Jaguars, and Trevor's brother, fellow running back Travis Etienne. Not only do they play, but they'll play in Week One. Trevor Etienne says the family is thrilled. 'As soon as we found out the big news, we already were excited about playing each other this year,' Trevor Etienne said, via 'And then come to find out that it will be Week One. It's even more exciting, and we all can't wait.' The Etienne brothers' mom, Donnetta Etienne, is already preparing her outfit for the game: She reached out to John Brown, the father of Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Bears receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, to ask him where he got the split Lions/Bears jersey he wears when his two sons face each other. 'That's definitely all she's been talking about so far after finding out like she's adamant about getting this split jersey done for the game,' Trevor Etienne said. 'I think she got in touch with Amon-Ra St. Brown's father and see how he did it. We were at the NFLPA, and I think she was able to get in touch with him at the premiere, and I think she was able to figure out how he did it and get some pointers and tips on how to handle that, on how to get this split jersey.' The 26-year-old Travis and the 20-year-old Trevor weren't close enough in age to be either teammates or opponents at any other level of football, but they'll be on the same field for the first game of Trevor's career.

Salary cap impact of Jaguars releasing Gabe Davis with post-June 1st designation
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Wednesday that they were releasing wide receiver Gabe Davis, and on Thursday afternoon, that move became official. Davis was waived with failed physical and post-June 1st designations, according to Aaron Wilson. As it pertains to the post-June 1st designations, that does come with some noteworthy salary cap ramifications for both 2025 and 2026. Advertisement Last offseason, Davis signed a three-year, $39 million deal with $24 million guaranteed. By releasing Davis at this point, the Jaguars are taking on a hefty amount of dead cap--which are dollars that have been paid to the player but not yet accounted for on the salary cap--of $20.3 million. The decision that the Jaguars had was to either absorb that full $20.3 million in dead cap on the 2025 salary cap, but be out from under Davis' deal in 2026, or use the post-June 1st designation to spread the dead cap hit out. By choosing the latter, Davis will leave behind a dead cap hit of $5.7 million in 2025, but also a $14.6 million dead cap hit in 2026, according to Over the Cap. So even though Davis will be playing elsewhere, he will still be on the Jaguars' salary cap books for each of those amounts over the next two seasons.

Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among position group?
Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among position group? Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among his position group heading into the 2025 NFL season? Where does new Jacksonville Jaguars' center Robert Hainsey rank among his position group heading into the 2025 NFL season? Pro Football Focus has been putting together its ranking of the top 32 players at each position group. At the guard spot, Mason Cameron had Hainsey at No. 23 on his list. "While we haven't seen much of Hainsey over the past year, he did show flashes on a small sample size, posting a 73.3 PFF overall grade," wrote Cameron. "That should be a positive step toward a return to form in Jacksonville." With the addition of Graham Barton by the Buccaneers in last year's NFL draft, Hainsey played just 94 snaps in 2024 coming off the bench. However, as GM James Gladstone described following the addition of Hainsey in free agency, there were two things about his game that stood out and made him a player that the Jaguars had to sign. One facet is that he knows Liam Coen's offense after the two worked together while in Tampa Bay last season. As Gladstone put it, Hainsey's familiarity with the system "takes some weight off the shoulders" of Trevor Lawrence at the line of scrimmage. The other part of Hainsey's game that grabbed Gladstone's attention was his play style. "The whistle blows and he's playing through it, and that's something that we really, really value," Gladstone said. The Jaguars signed Hainsey to a three-year, $21 million deal with $13 million guaranteed.
