The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed center Jack Anderson off waivers on Friday. Anderson was waived by the Indianapolis Colts earlier in the week. He has bounced around on four different teams since entering the league as a seventh-round pick. This isn't a blockbuster move by any means, but it does give the Jaguars depth. Anderson has played at guard, tackle, and center during his time in the league. He could be a nice depth piece for the organization, assuming he's able to make the 53-man roster.
The Indianapolis Colts released offensive lineman Jack Anderson on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The 2021 seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills out of Texas Tech signed a one-year contract extension with the Colts just over three months ago, but his time with the organization has come to an end. Anderson, who is 25 years old, has played in 15 games (three starts) for the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Colts. While he's unlikely to compete for a starting role elsewhere, teams are always looking to add depth to the offensive line.
The Indianapolis Colts re-signed backup center Jack Anderson to a one-year deal ahead of 2024 free agency. Originally a 2021 seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills out of Texas Tech, Anderson has played in 15 games with three starts between his time with the Colts, Bills, New York Giants, and Philadelphia Eagles. He did not log a snap in 2023. Starting center Ryan Kelly is one of the best players at his position, so this is simply a depth-solidifying move for the organization that aims to protect second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson in 2024.
