Rudy Ford Released by Jaguars

As we said in our 53-man roster prediction last week,

that final safety spot was probably going to come down

[{"selector":"#anim-5210c359-9d7c-463f-9efb-6123c0d083b2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-10.021551724741071%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

to Daniel versus Rudy Ford, with the former being more suited

[{"selector":"#anim-cbcac891-d9d3-4fc3-8c0a-5c3ebb9610d6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

to a three-down play in base defense and the latter one.

[{"selector":"#anim-b930d28c-0b44-46e2-aed4-24f2ed49f3ea [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Was special team ace. It looks like head coach Doug Pedersen decided

[{"selector":"#anim-c795bd5c-d5b6-4228-b711-9f510096538d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.841846877324755%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

to back up right on safety as opposed to promoting special teams.

[{"selector":"#anim-bbd0f79e-95e0-4a83-aeac-186f1472884c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.879890735725144%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Rudy Ford came to Jacksonville in March last year

[{"selector":"#anim-b40777dd-60d5-47f9-8557-4aa3a4619691 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.15771474761963%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

after signing a two-year contract worth $4.2 million.

[{"selector":"#anim-48075a36-c779-42a1-a45c-d0530b30d37f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-10.021551724741071%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
