The news came moments after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Jaguars had also agreed to sign Washington offensive guard Brandon Scherff.

Oluokun, who played with the Falcons, is getting a three-year deal worth up to $46.5 million, with $28 million guaranteed, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Oluokun is entering his fifth season in the league and coming off a career year in Atlanta. He had 192 tackles and three interceptions for the Falcons.

Fatukasi is getting a three-year, $30 million deal with $20 million of that guaranteed, according to the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Fatukasi (6-foot-4, 318 pounds) has played his first four seasons with the Jets. He had a career-best 46 tackles last season and is highly regarded as a run stopper.
