JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars and Marcell Dareus have agreed to a restructured contract that will keep the nose tackle with the team next season, a league source told ESPN's Field Yates.
The deal clears $5 million in cap space for the Jaguars and lowers Dareus' base salary from $8.335 million in 2019, per Yates' sources. Dareus was scheduled to earn a $2 million roster bonus on March 15 but now gets a $5 million bonus immediately. The restructured contract runs through the 2020 season, eliminating the final year of the old contract.
