Jaguars Waive S James Sample, Sign S Jeron Johnson

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Sunday that they’ve waived S James Sample and signed S Jeron Johnson to a contract.

Sample, 25, is a former fourth-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2015. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $2,828,580 contract and stands to make base salaries of $615,000 and $705,000 over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2015, Sample appeared in four games for the Jaguars and recorded 15 tackles and one pass defense. He missed the 2016 season due to a shoulder injury.
