Despite giving up a late draft selection for him, the Jacksonville Jaguars won’t be moving ahead with linebacker Kamalei Correa. Per the transaction wire, the team released him earlier last week, making him a free agent.

Correa, 26, found himself with the Jags after the team was in need of linebacker depth due to injuries. With that being the case, they made a trade with the Tennessee Titans for Correa in October. As part of the rare in-division trade, the Jags sent the Titans their sixth-round pick in 2021 for their seventh and Correa.
Unfortunately, Correa ended up leaving the Jags on Dec. 17 for personal reasons, but it’s possible the former second-round pick for the Baltimore Ravens (2016) could return to football out of free agency. Correa, who started in six games for the Jags, finished his career in Jacksonville with seven total tackles (four solo, three assisted).
