The Jacksonville Jaguars are heading into a redefining offseason after a 2024 campaign that failed to meet high expectations. The team fell short of reaching the playoffs, which has now placed pressure on new head coach Liam Coen and his offensive scheme led by star quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Lawrence has established himself as a cornerstone of the franchise and, under his new five-year, $275 million deal, he’s the clear leader on the field. Along with his commitment to Jacksonville, the weapons surrounding him remain a vital part of the team’s offensive firepower.
The Jaguars’ intentions are clear, they want to surround Lawrence with precise and effective offensive talent. Jacksonville sees the upcoming season as a key opportunity to address weaknesses on the roster and improve performance. As part of this process, one wide receiver will no longer be with the team.
Which player left the Jaguars?
The Jaguars have waived wide receiver Louis Rees‑Zammit, who joined the team through the International Player Pathway Program and was promoted from the practice squad in February 2025. The news was revealed by NFL insider Adam Schefter via his X account (formerly Twitter).
Trevor Lawrence #16 of the Jacksonville Jaguars looks on against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on October 2, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Rees‑Zammit never played an official game in a Jaguars uniform and has now announced he will return to rugby, a surprising turn of events. With his departure, Lawrence loses a potential deep threat and a vertical-speed option.
