Jaguars sign UFL Defensive Player of Year Breeland Speaks
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed 2024 UFL Defensive Player of the Year Breeland Speaks on Thursday. The 28-year-old defensive end tallied 9.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss this spring for the Michigan Panthers. Speaks was a second-round draft pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. He played in all 16 games as a rookie (four starts) and registered 24 tackles, two fumble recoveries and 1.5 sacks. Speaks spent the 2019 season on injured reserve. In December of that year, he was suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He has not appeared in an NFL game since, spending time with Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. The Jaguars placed defensive end De'Shaan Dixon on the waived/injured list. If he clears waivers, he will revert to the injured reserve list. --Field Level Media
