Brewster started ten games for the Jaguars in 2013, but that was not enough to save his job with the team.

Along with Brewster, the Jaguars released uarterback Stephen Morris, quarterback Ricky Stanzi, fullback Eric Kettani, guard Drew Nowak, defensive end Gerald Rivers, wide receiver Chad Bumphis, tackle Cody Booth, defensive lineman DeAndre Coleman, defensive tackle Ricky Havili-Heimuli, safety Craig Loston, kicker/punter Kasey Redfern, guard Tyler Shatley, tight end D.J. Tialavea, linebacker Marcus Whitfield and tight end Brandon Barden.

Those were not the only moves that the Jaguars made.

The team also placed wide receiver Tandon Doss and cornerback Rashaad Reynolds on injured reserve.

Both players were injured in the preseason finale.

With the flurry of moves, Jacksonville is now down to 57 players and have just four more moves to make.

Teams around the league will have until Saturday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline to make their final cuts that will get the roster size down to 53.
