Free agent center Mitch Morse is set to visit the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Morse, who turns 32 in April, was released by the Buffalo Bills earlier this week as part of a series of roster moves by the team to clear salary cap space. He spent five seasons with the Bills after beginning his career with a four-year stint with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Prior to his visit with the Jaguars, Morse reportedly visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In each of his nine NFL seasons, Morse earned a grade above 61 from Pro Football Focus. Jaguars second-year center Luke Fortner received a grade of 44.3 in 2023.
While the Jacksonville offensive line struggled to clear space in the running game and didn’t do well at protecting Trevor Lawrence either, the team appears set to keep four of its five starters heading into the 2024 season. It looks like the Jaguars are considering adding a replacement for Fortner, though.
As a player who was released rather than becoming a free agent, Morse wouldn’t count against the compensatory pick formula in 2025.
