He joined the team on a two-year contract worth $5,500,000 in the 2025 offseason. This decision clears $2,730,000 in salary cap space heading into the 2026 season. Munt spent eight years in the league before landing in Jacksonville, with five seasons blocking for the Los Angeles Rams and three more with the Minnesota Vikings. His background in schemes run by coaches like Sean McVeigh and Kevin O'Connell made him a smooth fit for the Jaguars' offense, where he focused mainly on blocking duties. So far, the team has skipped outside free agent signings, opting instead for this internal roster tweak to manage their cap better.
