Early this morning, the Jaguars announced that they have placed offensive lineman Dennis Daley<\/a> on the reserve\/retired list<\/a>. Not much information has followed the announcement, but it appears Daley is hanging up his cleats at only 28 years old. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daley came into the league as a sixth-round pick out of South Carolina in 2019. After injuries to the interior offensive line forced the team to move starting left tackle Daryl Williams<\/a> inside to cover and Greg Little<\/a>, the rookie second-round tackle called in to replace him, went down, as well, Daley stepped into the starting left tackle role for nine games of his rookie year.<\/p>\n

After starting Year 2 injured, Daley made three starts (two at right guard, one at left tackle) in five game appearances before getting placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the year. His third year in Carolina saw him continue to shuffle around, starting nine of 15 game appearances at right guard, left guard, and left tackle.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the Panthers traded Daley and a seventh-round pick<\/a> in 2024 to Tennessee in exchange for a 2024 fifth-round selection. When Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan<\/a> went down on the first play<\/a> of the team\u2019s Week 2 matchup with a season-ending knee injury, Daley was inserted and started the remainder of the season as the Titans\u2019 blindside blocker. Though the line helped running back Derrick Henry<\/a> to finish second in rushing yards that year, Daley tied for the most sacks allowed in the NFL that season, and the line as a whole was considered one of the league\u2019s worst.<\/p>\n

In free agency, Daley signed a two-year, $3.2MM contract<\/a> in Arizona. He ended up on IR just before the start of the regular season and only ended up playing in four contests with one start. The Cardinals released him<\/a> in training camp last year, and he landed on the Jaguars\u2019 practice squad. Ending the season with no game appearances, Daley signed a reserve\/futures deal to spend the offseason with Jacksonville. In the end, he\u2019ll never appear in a game with the Jaguars, now that he\u2019s calling it a career.<\/p>\n

In his short time with the NFL, Daley did more than a lot of sixth-round picks get to do. Starting 37 games in 54 appearances at multiple positions across the line, Daley made himself a reliable backup option despite a few major injuries of his own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Early this morning, the Jaguars announced that they have placed offensive lineman Dennis Daley on the reserve\/retired list.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2060],"tags":[390,260,8472,7,212,125,2401,213,6,394,3571],"class_list":{"0":"post-260138","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville-jaguars","8":"tag-arizona-cardinals","9":"tag-carolina-panthers","10":"tag-dennis-daley","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jacksonville","13":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","14":"tag-jacksonvillejaguars","15":"tag-jaguars","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-tennessee-titans","18":"tag-transactions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114968435838970826","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
