Set for three-year deal with Jags
Savage agreed to a three-year contract with Jacksonville on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage, a 2019 first-round pick, is fresh off completing his rookie deal with the Packers and will provide an immediate boost at safety for the Jaguars. After an impressive first two seasons in the league, Savage struggled from 2021 through 2023, and missed assignments resulted in him even losing his starting job for part of the 2022 campaign. He will look to reignite his career under new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Jacksonville.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No progress on extension
Savage has not had any contract extension talks with the Packers, making it more likely he will leave in free agency, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old safety played a career-low 10 regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple injuries, but Savage came up big in the playoffs with a pick-six in the wild-card round against the Cowboys. The void years on his old contract mean he will carry a dead cap hit of about $5.5 million for Green Bay in 2024, but the team made no effort to work out an extension that would have avoided the charge. Savage could get a contract in free agency worth between $5 million and $7 million per season.

2020
2019
Early on in his four-year career, Savage seemed destined for big things, but after taking a step back in 2021, he took another one in the same direction last season. He's set to remain Green Bay's starting free safety, but he lost that spot at one point in 2022, so there's no guarantee he holds onto it. Savage racked up just 121 tackles and three interceptions in 33 games over the last two years, so those in IDP leagues may want to look elsewhere.
