The Jaguars have released running back Carlos Hyde, the team announced earlier today. Jacksonville also announced that it has extended exclusive rights tenders to outside linebacker/defensive end Jamir Jones, linebacker Chapelle Russell and RB Mekhi Sargent.
Hyde, 31, signed a two-year deal with Jacksonville last year, his second stint with the team. In 2021, Hyde accounted for just 253 rushing yards and one touchdown through 12 games and two starts. He ended the year on the team’s reserve/injured list with a concussion.
Hyde signed a two-year deal worth $2.75M and received a $750,000 signing bonus with $500,000 tied to per-game bonuses for a max value of $4M over two years.
