Becomes free agent
The Jaguars have declined to pick up the 2020 option for Dareus (abdomen), making him a free agent, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
By letting Dareus go, the Jaguars will save $20 million against the salary cap in 2020. Dareus ended the 2019 season on injured reserve after undergoing core muscle surgery in October. He finished the year with 13 tackles and 0.5 sacks through six games. The timeline to return from his surgery was 4-to-6 weeks, so he should be ready to sign with a new team immediately.

Dareus restructured his deal with Jacksonville in February to remain with the team and figures to anchor the interior of the defensive line. The 29-year-old totaled 32 tackles (23 solo), one sack and one forced fumble in 15 starts last season, a stark contrast to the five-plus sack efforts he posted during his first four seasons in Buffalo. Dareus' figures to play a vital role in the Jaguars' defensive front, but heading into 2019 he doesn't appear to have significant IDP value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visits Ravens
Dareus visited the Ravens on a tryout during rookie minicamp Saturday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dareus last played during the 2019 season, when he played only six games before sitting out the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve due to core muscle surgery. The 2011 No. 3 overall pick has played more than nine games in a given season just once since 2015 and finished the 2019 campaign with 13 tackles and 0.5 sacks. Dareus could compete for a deep rotational role as Baltimore has just three defensive tackles who do not currently carry an uncertain health designation.
