Underwhelms in Jacksonville
Savage recorded 51 total tackles and six passes defended, including one interception, over 13 games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The first-year Jaguar started all 13 games he appeared in this season, playing more than 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in eight contests. However, Savage tallied the same amount of total tackles as he did in 2023 with the Packers, despite playing 190 more defensive snaps and appearing in three more games in 2024. The Maryland product showed flashes of brilliance, nonetheless, posting the most passes defended since his 2021 campaign. Savage is expected to remain one of Jacksonville's starting safeties in 2025, having signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal with the team last offseason.

Early on in his four-year career, Savage seemed destined for big things, but after taking a step back in 2021, he took another one in the same direction last season. He's set to remain Green Bay's starting free safety, but he lost that spot at one point in 2022, so there's no guarantee he holds onto it. Savage racked up just 121 tackles and three interceptions in 33 games over the last two years, so those in IDP leagues may want to look elsewhere.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No progress on extension
Savage has not had any contract extension talks with the Packers, making it more likely he will leave in free agency, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old safety played a career-low 10 regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple injuries, but Savage came up big in the playoffs with a pick-six in the wild-card round against the Cowboys. The void years on his old contract mean he will carry a dead cap hit of about $5.5 million for Green Bay in 2024, but the team made no effort to work out an extension that would have avoided the charge. Savage could get a contract in free agency worth between $5 million and $7 million per season.
