**Jacksonville Jaguars Make Shocking Cut, Waive Linebacker Chad Muma**
**Jacksonville, FL -** In a surprising move, the Jacksonville Jaguars have waived linebacker Chad Muma as part of their roster cutdowns ahead of the regular season. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the unexpected decision earlier today, sending ripples throughout the league.
Muma, the 70th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, was entering the final year of his rookie contract. The 26-year-old had appeared in all 17 games for the Jaguars in 2023, recording 32 tackles and starting in three contests.
A standout at Wyoming, Muma was a two-year starter, earning second-team All-American honors and first-team All-Mountain West Conference recognition in 2021. He was also named second-team All-MWC in 2020. His impressive college career led to high expectations upon entering the NFL.
“This is a surprise cut,” Rapoport stated, suggesting that Muma’s NFL potential will likely see him quickly picked up by another franchise. “He’s a very likely candidate to be claimed.”
The Jaguars’ decision leaves a gap in their linebacker depth and raises questions about the team’s plans for the position moving forward. As teams finalize their rosters, the waiver wire will be closely watched to see where Muma lands.
