The Jaguars are adding a key piece for their offensive line who has familiarity with new head coach Liam Coen.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Jacksonville has agreed to sign center Robert Hainsey to a three-year deal.
Rapoport notes the contract is worth $21 million with $13 million guaranteed.
Hainsey, 26, was a third-round pick in 2021. He started at center in 2022 and 2023 but moved back to a reserve role in 2024 after the club drafted Graham Barton at No. 26 overall.
In four seasons, Hainsey has 60 appearances with 35 starts. He’ll now be a key piece in implementing Coen’s offensive system, as he played under it when Coen served as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator in 2024.
The Jaguars have also agreed to terms with Patrick Mekari on Monday to improve the club’s offensive line.
The Jaguars continue to be one of the league’s busier teams in the first hours of the free agency negotiating window.
According to multiple reports, they have agreed to a deal with free agent offensive lineman Chuma Edoga. Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports that it is a two-year deal.
Edoga joins cornerback Jourdan Lewis in making the jump from the Cowboys to the Jaguars. The Jags have also agreed to terms with offensive lineman Patrick Mekari, tight end Hunter Long, wide receiver Dyami Brown, tight end Johnny Mundt, defensive back Eric Murray, and quarterback Nick Mullens.
Edoga played 22 games and made 10 starts for the Cowboys the last two seasons. He also made 13 starts as a member of the Jets and Falcons earlier in his career.
The Jaguars are adding a veteran offensive lineman.
According to ESPN, Jacksonville has agreed on a three-year deal with guard Patrick Mekari.
Mekari, 27, started all 17 games for Baltimore in 2024, playing 90 percent of the team’s offensive snaps.
Having joined the club as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Mekari has appeared in 88 career games with 53 starts over the last six seasons.
Mekari landed at No. 71 on PFT’s list of the top 100 free agents in 2025.
The 49ers took a break from talking to quarterback Brock Purdy about a new contract so that they could work on adding a new target for his passes.
According to multiple reports, the 49ers have agreed to a three-year deal with tight end Luke Farrell. The contract is worth up to $20.25 million and includes $11 million in guaranteed money.
Farrell will head to the Niners after spending the last four years with the Jaguars. Jacksonville selected him with the 145th pick of the 2021 draft.
Farrell played 66 games and made 20 starts for the Jags. He had 36 catches for 318 yards in those appearances.
The Jaguars are adding a receiver.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Dyami Brown is heading to Jacksonville on a one-year deal.
The initial report indicates Brown’s contract is worth $10 million, which can move up to $12 million.
Brown, 25, just completed his rookie contract with the Commanders. He set career-highs with 30 receptions and 308 receiving yards in 2024. He was on the field for 44 percent of offensive snaps in his 16 games played with three starts.
A third-round pick in 2021, Brown has 59 career catches for 784 yards with four TDs.
Brown was No. 69 on PFT’s list of the top 100 free agents in 2025.
