The Jacksonville Jaguars have released veteran defensive lineman Jared Odrick, saving $8.5 million against the salary cap. It surely didn’t help that Odrick wanted to spend the offseason training away from Jacksonville. The 29-year-old Odrick signed a five-year deal worth $42.5 million with Jacksonville as an unrestricted free agent in 2015.

Power Rankings: The Honda ClassicPower Rankings: The Honda Classic
Save a couple of stops on the West Coast Swing (Torrey Pines South and Riviera), the value of par really doesn’t resonate until the PGA TOUR embarks on its annual Florida Swing, which begins in earnest at this week’s Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens. Averaging 1.768 strokes over par last year, PGA National’s Champion Course was the hardest par 70 of all non-majors for the second straight season. Of the 10 times that the tournament has been contested here, Adam Scott’s 9-under 271 marked the eighth time that the winning pace was single digits under par. The defending champ is par or better in his last eight rounds at PGA National. He’s also connected six straight top 15s since October. Leads TOUR in strokes gained: putting. Stumbled since Aloha State sweep. Entered last year’s Honda similarly, and then was the only golfer to connect four sub-70s at PGA National en route to a T3. Since P2 in PGA National debut in 2014, he’s added a T3 and a T26, respectively. Actual scoring average here is 69.08. Four top-11 finishes this season. Sixth in GIR. TOUR’s leader in bogey avoidance has been mainstay here since Rookie of the Year season of 2010. Last year’s T6 is his personal best of three top 15s. T4 in last start at WMPO. The 2016 runner-up is perfect in six trips with three top 15s; actual scoring average of 69.92 at PGA National. Winner three weeks ago in Dubai. Five top 20s in last six starts. He’s 4-for-4 at PGA National with a T6 in 2011. Ranks 25th in GIR and 17th in strokes gained: putting. Three top 20s in 2017, including a T5 in his last start at Pebble Beach. Twelve consecutive cuts made upon arrival with a win, two T6s and four more top 25s. Hasn’t missed a cut in six tries at PGA National; top 15s in the last two editions. Playing well enough to deserve inclusion here with top 25s the last two weeks. Also 6-for-6 at PGA National with four consecutive top 10s (from 2008-2015). Lost in a playoff here in 2015 when he closed with 64. Two last two weeks off after a T7 at TPC Scottsdale on TifEagle Bermuda greens, which he loves. The first-timer at PGA National has sustained brilliant form since early in 2016. Top 15s in four of last six starts. Among the best in the world with his irons. Cementing a reputation as a commodity on smaller ballparks and on par 70s and par 71s with a T13 at Waialae and T22 at Riviera in his last two starts. Tournament debut. Eight consecutive top 25s worldwide since winning the Dunhill Links in October. Twelfth on the European Tour in GIR and fifth in scrambling. Cooled since bracketing holiday break with three top 15s, but has four top 25s in last six Hondas. Last year’s T14 is a personal best. Well above average throughout his bag. The 22-year-old ball-striker seeks redemption after missing cut in debut here last year. T5 in last start in Dubai. Won DP World Tour Championship in November. Had been epitome of being “close” with six straight paydays (despite no top 40s) before a distant T2 at Riviera. Can pile on now at PGA National where he finished T10 last year. POWER RANKINGS: The Honda Classic RANK PLAYER COMMENT Look for Thomas Pieters, Danny Willett, Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey, Brooks Koepka and other notables in Tuesday’s Fantasy Insider. The Champion Course tips at just 7,140 yards, but it has a dozen water hazards with undulating, TifEagle Bermudagrass greens that average just 5,500 square feet and prepped to run as fast as 12 feet on the Stimpmeter. Toss in rough of two-and-a-half inches and ubiquitous winds, and you immediately understand why par is a good score. Last year’s field averaged just 10.79 greens in regulation per round, 12th-lowest of the season. It converted those opportunities for eagle and birdies only one-quarter of the time (eighth-lowest clip of 2015-16). And when the field of 144 was scrambling to save par, it did just so just over half of the time, making PGA National the fifth-stingiest. It wouldn’t be a preview without a peek at holes 15, 16 and 17, otherwise known as The Bear Trap. With respective pars of 3, 4 and 3, it averaged 0.478 strokes over par as a group last year. Scott scored 5-over on the set for the week, ultimately surviving a quadruple bogey-7 on 15 in his third round in which he still signed for a 4-under 66. Wind and rain will headline the weather early and late this week, but neither can be ruled out as a threat at any time. Daytime temperatures will climb into the mid-80s, so it’ll feel a little sticky out there.
