The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is still off on the horizon. Join us in the NFL’s dead zone with a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.
When JaMycal Hasty was claimed by the Jacksonville Jaguars just before the start of the 2022 regular season, he joined a roster that already had a duo of running backs in James Robinson and Travis Etienne Jr.
It seemed Hasty would battle fifth-round rookie Snoop Conner for the third spot on the depth chart.
But by the end of October, Hasty was the Jaguars’ No. 2 back following a trade that sent Robinson to the New York Jets. While Hasty’s performance was enough to earn him a two-year contract extension in Jacksonville, his spot on the team is far from secure after the Jaguars added D’Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigsby in the offseason.
Contract (2023): $1.08 million base salary, $150,000 prorated signing bonus, $50,000 per game bonus, $50,000 workout bonus, $1.33 million cap hit.
Acquired: Jaguars claimed Hasty off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 31, 2022.
