Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson had to cut players from the team to make it to the 53-man roster, even his own son.
Pederson cut tight end Josh Pederson to be able to get to the required 53 players by the deadline.
Josh Pederson was an undrafted free agent from Louisiana-Monroe. He had spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and the Kansas City Chiefs. He also was playing in the USFL for the Houston Gamblers, where he caught 24 passes for 325 yards in 10 games, but his contract there ended earlier this year to be able to join an at-the-time unnamed NFL team,Despite floating around to several teams, Josh Pederson has never been on the field during the NFL’s regular season.
“I’d want to tell him,” Doug Pederson said. “Trent would want to visit with him as well, and I definitely want to talk to him and just let him know -- I mean, he’s been through this process before with a couple other teams last year. And I’m very familiar with it, obviously, as a former player, and walk him through the process and let him know that everything’s going to be OK.”
