The Jaguars are expected to sign veteran defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, according to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. This comes shortly Jernigan visited with the team on Wednesday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
With a bunch of DTs opting out recently, Timmy Jernigan had several options. But the Florida native preferred to play there, so the #Jaguars became a likely landing spot. Not done til it's done but it should get done. OK I'm done.

Jernigan, 27, first entered the league with the Baltimore Ravens in 2014 as a second-round selection out of Florida State University.
