The Jacksonville Jaguars snagged a defensive tackle Monday, signing Roy Robertson-Harris away from the Bears, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo
Urban Meyer and the #Jaguars are on the board. They’ve agreed with former #Bears DT Roy Robertson-Harris on a three-year, $24.4 million deal, source said. He gets $14m in guarantees. The deal for the former undrafted free agent was done by @sportstarsnyc.

Robertson-Harris signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2016. He played 52 games in his Bears career, including seven starts in 2019 and six in 2020. He has 7.5 career sacks.
Jaguars land Robertson-Harris in free agency
Fantasy slant: After four seasons in Chicago, Roy Robertson-Harris lands in Jacksonville to bandage a defense that has bled out production on the ground to opposing teams. Robertson-Harris’s calling card rotating from defensive tackle and end has been as a run defender. Last season the Jaguars ranked 20th in second-level yards and 30th in open field yards allowed. Urban Meyer looks determined to improve those numbers in 2021. – Derek Brown
