The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a new one-year contract with tight end Quintin Morris, keeping him with the team for the 2026 season. Morris was set to become a free agent next week, but the two sides reached a deal worth up to $3 million.

Why it matters

Retaining Morris provides continuity for the Jaguars' offense and gives them depth at the tight end position, which is an important part of their passing attack. Morris has shown promise in his first two NFL seasons, so keeping him in the fold is a positive move for the team.

The details

Morris originally signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and had 15 catches for 146 yards and 3 touchdowns during his time there. He joined the Jaguars last season and appeared in 14 games, recording 6 catches for 55 yards and 1 touchdown. He will now have a chance to build on that production in 2026 as part of Jacksonville's tight end group that also includes Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt, and Hunter Long.
