The Facts: The Jaguars parted ways today with their two high-profile free agents from a year ago, cutting Porter and CB Drayton Florence two days after NFL teams were allowed to begin releasing players. HC Jack Del Rio confirmed the moves, which will save the club approximately $8.3 million in salary between the two players for 2009.
Diehards Line:Porter was due to make $1.9 million in base salary with a $2 million roster bonus. Signed to a six-year, $30.4 million contract with $10 million guaranteed last offseason, Porter made nearly $1 million per catch (11 catches, 181 yards, 1 touchdown) before going on the injured reserve in mid December with an injured groin muscle.
