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.

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.

Packers QB Jordan Love Generating Buzz Ahead of 2025 Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entering last season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was expected to have a big-time year. After showing superstar flashes during his first season as the team's starter following the Aaron Rodgers trade, the sky was the limit for Love. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury in Week 1 that forced him to miss a couple of games. He never took the leap that had been expected from him after that. Despite the lower production from Love, the Packers took a step forward as a team. They improved from a 9-8 record in 2023 to 11-6 in 2024. Now, the team is hoping to see him take his personal game to another level. Jordan Love #10 of the Green Bay Packers walks off the field after their 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium on October 27, 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida. Jordan Love #10 of the Green Bay Packers walks off the field after their 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium on October 27, 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida. Photo byThroughout the course of the 2024 NFL season, Love played in 15 games. He completed 63.1 percent of his pass attempts for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Those aren't bad numbers, but they weren't a step in the right direction. Read more: Packers Attempted to Make Intriguing Wide Receiver Trade: Report Heading into the 2025 season, Love has now received some major hype. One NFL analyst believes he's an under-the-radar MVP candidate. That analyst is none other than Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report. "Is it doable? The long-awaited addition of a first-round pick at receiver should help as Matthew Golden joins the fray in 2025. After all, only Daniel Jones saw his receivers drop passes more frequently than Love last year. And it's important to remember this guy has just two full seasons as a starter under his belt," Gagnon wrote. "There's plenty of room for Love to grow, and the support could be there now for a quarterback who posted a 105.7 passer rating on deep attempts last year." Love taking a jump and becoming a legitimate MVP candidate would do wonders for Green Bay's offense. He has the weapons to produce a much bigger season than he did last year. Read more: Packers' Jordan Love Speaks Out After Aaron Rodgers Signs With Steelers As of right now, the Packers have Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, and Dontayvion Wicks healthy in the wide receiver room. Christian Watson is doing well in his recovery from a torn ACL as well. More than likely, the team won't be carrying all of those wide receivers into the 2025 season, but they have an incredibly talented and young group for Love to work with. Add in Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave at tight end and it gets more interesting. Green Bay has put together a roster that should make them a serious contender in the NFC once again. If Love can take the next step and play at an MVP level all season long, the Packers will have a shot to win another Super Bowl. For more Green Bay Packers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

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.
