Arden Key Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent defensive lineman Arden Key to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million on Wednesday, according to a source. Key chooses the Jaguars after visiting with the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old had a career-high 6.5 sacks and 22 tackles (11 solo) and five tackles for loss and 17 QB hits in 17 games (no starts) in his lone season with the San Francisco 49ers in 2021. The former third-round pick of the Raiders in 2018 out of LSU will provide the Jaguars with versatility and defensive line depth, but he won't be on the IDP radar.

Free-agent defensive lineman Arden Key will meet with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. Key continues to make the rounds after visiting with the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars the last two days. Coming off a career-high 6.5 sacks for the San Francisco 49ers in 2021, the 25-year-old is drawing plenty of interest on the open market. Baltimore continues to look for upgrades to their pass rush after missing out on linebacker Za'Darius Smith, who eventually signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The Ravens also met with defensive lineman Rasheem Green on Wednesday. Key, a third-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2018, has 9.5 sacks in his four NFL seasons.

Free-agent defensive lineman Arden Key is meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Key visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday, and it sounds like they are still very much in play, but Key is taking his pre-planned visits. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is coming off a career-high 6.5 sacks in his lone season with the San Francisco 49ers after working on his technique to generate consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. In four total NFL seasons (three with the Las Vegas Raiders), he has 71 tackles (45 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 43 QB hits, 9.5 sacks and three passes defensed in 54 games (10 starts).
