The Jacksonville Jaguars made a roster transaction Saturday afternoon, signing third-year tight end Matt Flanagan. They also waived/injured tight end Charles Jones to make room on the roster for Flanagan.

Flanagan, 25, attended the University of Pittsburgh as a collegiate player and was picked up as an undrafted player by the Washington Football Team in 2018 when current Jags offensive coordinator Jay Gruden was their head coach. He didn’t play during the 2019 regular season after Washington waived/injured him in late August and he reverted to their injured reserve list. However, that eventually led to him becoming a free-agent.
Per the Jags, Flanagan will wear the No. 85. He will join a group that has notables Tyler Eifert, James O’Shaughnessy, and rookie Tyler Davis atop the depth chart.
