When the Oakland Raiders were in pursuit of tight end Martellus Bennett, it was obvious that Reggie McKenzie was looking for an upgrade at the position. And when he signed Jared Cook, Mychal Rivera became expendable.
Per Jeff Darlington, the Jacksonville Jaguars scooped up the free agent tight end.
Free agent tight end Mychal Rivera has agreed to terms with the Jaguars, two sources tell me.

Terms of the deal are not yet known. The team also officially announced the deal.
Rivera took to Instagram to thank Raider Nation for the support over his four years in Oakland.
