JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars are in the process of trimming their roster to the league limit.
The team got a start on its roster makeover, trading edge rusher Trevis Gipson to the Seahawks for a Day 3 draft pick on Monday morning. Gipson was considered a roster bubble player for the Jaguars. The Jaguars have to get to the NFL threshold of 53 players by 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

“Trevis has done an outstanding job for us. I think it’s a good situation for him. It’s a good situation for the team he’s going to and obviously the compensation for us,” head coach Doug Pederson said. “It’s a win-win. It gives him an opportunity to play. He put good tape out there of his play and wish him nothing but the best. Spoke with him this morning, and he’s happy and excited for the opportunity.”
Additionally, the team waived DE Raymond Johnson, DT Jonathan Marshall, LB Andrew Parker Jr., WR Joseph Scates, DE Breeland Speaks and WR Seth Williams.
It released CB Tevaughn Campbell, WR Denzel Mims, TE Chris Myarick and OL Keaton Sutherland. The latter group of players were not subject to waivers. Players who are vested and have been in the league four years or more are not subject waivers and are immediately free agents.
