They aren't done yet.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with former Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage on a three-year deal, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport . According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, Savage will make $21 million over three years with $12.5 million in guaranteed money.
Savage confirmed the agreement shortly after with a simple post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter: "Duuuvall."

Savage, 26, was drafted by the Packers in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie team that season and has started 69 games over the last four games, playing in 72.
Savage has accounted for 302 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, nine interceptions and 32 pass breakups. Last year, Savage accounted for 51 total tackles and one pass breakup in 10 games. Savage dealt with multiple injuries last year, including a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve, mission Weeks 8-12 and a shoulder injury suffered in Week 13, missing seven total games.
The Jaguars released veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins to save cap space and Savage seemingly will replace him as the team's starter. Jacksonville also has second-year safety Antonio Johnson who they selected at the top of the fifth round in the 2023 NFL Draft.
