JACKSONVILLE, Fla. >> The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran receiver Gabe Davis on Wednesday, moving on nearly 14 months after signing him to a three-year, $39 million contract in free agency.

The Jaguars designated it as a post-June 1 cut, meaning it will cost them $5.7 million against the salary cap in 2025 instead of $20.3 million. Nonetheless, Jacksonville’s new decision makers clearly thought it would be better to to take on dead money than have Davis on the roster as a fourth or fifth receiver.

Steelers trade WR Pickens to Cowboys >> The Pittsburgh Steelers have run out patience with wide receiver George Pickens, agreeing on a trade that sends the talented but mercurial 24-year-old to the Dallas Cowboys.

Utah Mammoth is permanent name of Salt Lake’s team >> After a mammoth undertaking of buying an NHL team, moving players, coaches and a full staff more than 600 miles and getting it all together in a manner of months before the puck dropped on a new season, it is perhaps a fitting identity that owners Ryan and Ashley Smith chose after rounds and rounds of fan voting.

They unveiled Utah Mammoth as the franchise’s permanent, full-time name Wednesday, with a profiled logo of the ice age creature featuring nods to the shape of the state, its mountain range and the same light blue, black and white color scheme that quickly became synonymous with the team in its first season in Salt Lake City.
