These strategic moves, completed before the commencement of free agency next week, are reported to have freed up more than $10 million in salary cap space for the team.

Murray is also set to begin his second year with the Jaguars. During his 12 appearances last season, the veteran defensive back recorded 54 tackles, intercepted a pass, and achieved a sack and a forced fumble.
