Paul spent the first six seasons of his career with the Redskins before signing with the Jaguars as a free agent in March. The 2011 fifth-rounder posted 39 receptions for 507 yards and a touchdown in 2014, but otherwise played a minimal role in the passing game with Washington. Jacksonville's release of veteran Marcedes Lewis opens up the starting role at tight end for fellow free agent acquisition Austin Seferian-Jenkins, leaving Paul to likely serve as the team's No. 2 tight end. At 6-1, 242 pounds, Paul doesn't have the frame of a red-zone target and has only two touchdown catches in his career. He seems unlikely to play a significant role in the passing game, assuming he makes the 53-man roster over younger options like Ben Koyack and James O'Shaughnessy.
