Rees-Zammit re-signed for the Jaguars on Monday, after Jacksonville initially opted not to sign him on a reserve\/future contract in January.<\/p>\n

The new deal means Rees-Zammit will form part of the Jaguars’ off-season roster, which can include as many as 90 players.<\/p>\n

The next goal for the former Gloucester and 2021 British and Irish Lions wing is to be selected on an active regular-season roster.<\/p>\n

This means Rees-Zammit would have to survive the cut from 90 players down to 53, something he was unable to achieve with Kansas City Chiefs in 2024.<\/p>\n

“The first step of the dream is to make an active roster, I’m doing everything I can to make that happen,” said Rees-Zammit.<\/p>\n

“This is my dream, and the way I make it come true is by working as hard as I can to make the roster.<\/p>\n

“Every day is a challenge, every day is hard hard work, but it is one that for this dream to come true is worth doing.<\/p>\n

“I’m doing everything I can to become a better player on the field and a better person off the field, so I’m really looking forward to this season.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
