Jaguars Sign EDGE Dennis Gardeck, Release RB Keilan Robinson

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed edge rusher Dennis Gardeck, a versatile linebacker known for his leadership and community presence, despite his age and injury history. To make room on the roster, the Jaguars released running back Keilan Robinson, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick who had limited offensive snaps and played primarily on special teams during his rookie season. The release of Robinson reflects the Jaguars' crowded running back room, which now includes veterans Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, along with rookies Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen, making Robinson the fifth option at the position. Jaguars' offensive coordinator Liam Coen praised the running back room's competition and development environment while denying rumors about moving on from Etienne. The team appears focused on a running back group resembling the mix of speed, power, and youth seen in Coen's previous Tampa Bay roster, emphasizing backs who contribute both on offense and special teams. With Robinson waived, the Jaguars have shifted toward players they view as better fits for their current roster and special teams needs.
