Austin Trammell could be a cut candidate during Jaguars training camp

Wide receiver looked like a strength for the Jaguars in 2023 but injuries ultimately exposed their lack of overall talent and depth. The team's brass got to work in the offseason and made several moves to upgrade the position.

The most meaningful one was probably letting Calvin Ridley walk in free agency and later drafting Brian Thomas Jr. to take his place. However, the Jags also made other additions that weren't nearly as relevant but were still important.

After the draft, the Jags signed five receivers. Two of them, Wayne Ruby and David White Jr., suffered season-ending injuries, so they had two roster spots to fill. The front office gave UFL star Hakeem Butler a workout but ultimately went with Austin Trammell, who spent the last two years with the Los Angeles Rams.

Trammell, an undrafted free agent in 2021, has mostly seen work as a returner. He's only logged six receptions for his career, so he may have trouble moving up the Jaguars' depth chart in the upcoming months.

Thomas, Devin Duvernay, Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Parker Washington are locks to make the team. That's five roster spots. Tim Jones and sophomore Elijah Cooks could be vying for the sixth. Seth Williams, who spent last season in the practice squad, and undrafted free agent Joshua Cephus will also be in the mix.

At this point, it's hard to see Trammell doing enough to get ahead of Cooks and Jones. Maybe he could try to make the team as a returner but he'll be competing with Duvernay, Parker rookie Keilan Robinson, and running back D'Ernest Johnson, so he faces an uphill battle ahead of the regular season.
