Armstead Stays with Jaguars Despite Cut Talk

Veteran defensive lineman Arik Armstead is with the Jaguars for 2026 after speculation about his potential release due to salary cap constraints.

Despite speculation that the Jaguars would cut veteran defensive lineman Arik Armstead due to salary cap constraints, the $14 million base salary player remains with the team. Armstead acknowledged the chatter but said, "That's the nature of the business. It's impossible to ignore the chatter."

Armstead played through a hand injury last season but still turned in a good year, and the Jaguars believe he'll be a big part of their defense in 2026. "My focus is being my best self and the best player I can be. That's all I can control," Armstead stated. sos-zagle.org.pl
