Jaguars Waive Matthew Wright
3 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars waived kicker Matthew Wright on Wednesday. It's a bit of a surprise, as Wright served as the starting kicker last year for Jacksonville, going 21-for-24 on his field-goal attempts and 13-for-15 on extra points in 14 games. The Jaguars have kickers Ryan Santoso and Andrew Mevis currently on their roster. Wright replaced Josh Lambo after he was released by the team on Oct. 19. Wright made seven of 10 kicks from 40-plus yards, including a 56-yarder, but he failed to kick balls deep into the end zone for touchbacks on kickoffs. If the Jaguars don't bring any other kicking candidates for training camp, Santoso and Mevis will compete for starting duties in 2022.
