Jaguars Waive Two, Add Gardeck, Smoot, Irwin

The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived offensive lineman Cooper Hodges and running back Keilan Robinson, both of whom struggled with injuries since being drafted. Hodges was once considered a future replacement for veteran guard Brandon Scherff, while Robinson was utilized as a return specialist. To strengthen their roster, the Jaguars signed linebacker Dennis Gardeck from the Arizona Cardinals and brought back defensive end Dawuane Smoot after a year with the Buffalo Bills. The team also signed wide receiver Trenton Irwin, a veteran of six NFL seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals known for his receiving and return skills. These moves are part of the Jaguars' continued efforts to address injuries and add depth. The team is reshaping its roster ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
