The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with tight end Quintin Morris, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move adds a veteran presence to the Jaguars offensive unit as they continue to refine their roster ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Morris joins Jacksonville after spending the previous three seasons with the Buffalo Bills. During his tenure in Buffalo, the 25-year-old tight end established himself as a reliable depth piece and a consistent contributor on special teams units. His familiarity with high-level competition is expected to provide valuable competition in the Jaguars tight end room, which is currently headlined by Evan Engram.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 243 pounds, Morris entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green. While primarily used in a reserve role during his time with the Bills, he has shown the ability to contribute as both a blocker and a situational receiver. The addition of Morris suggests that head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke are prioritizing versatile depth as they look to build a more robust offense for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Financial terms and the specific length of the contract have not yet been made public by the organization. The team is expected to formally announce the signing once the paperwork is finalized. This acquisition marks another step in Jacksonville's efforts to solidify their supporting cast through the latter stages of the free agency period.
