The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed safety Calvin Pryor off waivers from the Cleveland Browns, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Pryor was selected 18th overall by the New York Jets in the 2014 NFL Draft.
The 25-year-old recorded 62 tackles, six pass deflections, and a forced fumble in 15 games with the Jets during the 2016 season.
Pryor was traded to the Browns in June, shortly after the Jets declined his fifth-year option. However, he was released Thursday after getting into a fight with a teammate, wide receiver Ricardo Louis.
A strong open-field hitter, Pryor adds a new dimension to the Jaguars' secondary.
