Geno Hayes

Hayes appeared in all 16 games this season but saw his role and his snap count diminish over the final few weeks of the season. The Jaguars are obviously ready to move on, so look for Hayes to try and land elsewhere.

What a bad day to be a linebacker. The Jaguars have had their best defensive game of the season to this point, though that may not continue if they have to replace Hayes with Rookie Telvin Smith.

The Jaguars don\'t want to push Hayes to fast here and seem fine to give him rest every other day. Last season, Hayes registered 78 tackles, one sack, two interceptions and one forced fumble before missing the final two games of the season because of arthroscopic knee surgery.

Hayes sat out the final two games of the regular season last year and went in for arthroscopic knee surgery in January. With full medical clearance given, he should be ready for training camp. Prior to the injury, Hayes recorded 78 tackles, one sack, two interceptions and one forced fumble. With a clean bill of health, he should prove to be a solid IDP play once again.
