The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed four new linebackers to their offseason roster — claiming third-year linebacker James Onwualu off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers and signing linebacker D.J. Alexander, eighth-year linebacker Najee Goode, and fifth-year linebacker Ramik Wilson to the 90-man offseason roster

Alexander was originally drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round (172nd overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft and has appeared in 56 career games, primarily on special teams. In 2016 with the Chiefs, he earned a Pro Bowl nod as a special teamer after leading Kansas City with 12 special teams tackles. He has accumulated 35 special teams tackles in his career and has also played with Seattle (2017) and Philadelphia (2018).
Goode was selected by the Buccaneers in the fifth round (140th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft and has appeared in 80 career games, making four starts. He has accumulated 40 total tackles (28 solo) and 40 special teams tackles in stints with Tampa Bay (2012), Philadelphia (2013-2017) and Indianapolis (2018). In 2018, Goode appeared in all 16 regular season games and two postseason games for the Colts and in the 2018 postseason, he blocked a punt that was recovered for a touchdown.

The Jaguars currently have 75 players signed to their active roster. The team has also agreed to terms with 21 undrafted rookies, and will need to make corresponding moves when those players are signed to the 90-man offseason roster.
