Jaguars Silence Trade Deadline Rumors With Latest Re-Signing of $29M Veteran

Faced with an overnight emergency on their interior line, the Jacksonville Jaguars brought back a familiar face. The Jaguars re-signed defensive tackle Austin Johnson after DaVon Hamilton’s season-ending quad injury on Monday. Johnson comes into a familiar system, since he spent the 2025 season with the Jaguars before signing with the Buffalo Bills this season. He appeared in 14 games for the Jaguars last season, registering 12 tackles, 1.0 sack, one forced fumble, and a pass defended. In a corresponding move, the team has released LS Jacob Bobenmoyer.
