Signing a big contract is not the same as being secure.
According to Phillip Heilman of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars have released veteran safety Barry Church.
Church signed a four-year, $26 million contract in March 2017, and had started 27 games for them the last two seasons.
He had recently lost his starting job to third-round Ronnie Harrison, and was a healthy scratch last week against the Titans, so this feels like an early start on what could be an offseason of significant change in Jacksonville.
Big-ticket defensive tackle Malik Jackson has already said he doesn’t expect to be back, and there might be quite a line of them.
