Ronald Darby, formerly a cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Houston Texans, remaining in the AFC South. The Jaguars released Darby to free up salary cap space after a season where he recorded a completion rate of 71% against him, with a passer rating of 128.8 when targeted. While the Jaguars are reshaping their cornerback unit, they hope to add more depth during the upcoming NFL draft to create better competition.

This shift continues a trend of player movement within the division, as Darby follows Christian Kirk, who was previously traded to the Texans. The Jaguars’ front office will now look closely at potential draft picks to replace Darby and strengthen their secondary, aiming to solidify their defense in a competitive AFC South.
