Hainsey cleared concussion protocol earlier this week and is good to go. Inactive for the Jags are S Jessie Bates III, WR CJ Williams, DT Jordan Davis, DE Wesley Williams, and DT Albert Regis.

$13 million in guaranteed money for Hainsey, and the crowd goes wild citing Tommy Condon of CAA’s work on the deal. The last time we blurbed about Hainsey it was in the context of the 2023 Buccaneers, who had Hainsey ready to step in for Ryan Jensen at center. Hainsey was rough in 2023 and replaced by Graham Barton after he was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The 2021 third-round pick will, judging by the size of the contract, be the favorite to start over Luke Fortner at center in Jacksonville.
