Jacksonville Jaguars 're-sign defensive end Tyson Alualu'

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed a deal to re-sign defensive end Tyson Alualu, according to a report.

The 27-year-old was due to become a free agent on Tuesday when the 2015 league year officially begins.

Jacksonville have decided to keep Alualu, despite his underwhelming performances in his five years since being selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2010 Draft.

He and the club have agreed a two-year contract worth $6m [£3.9m], with $4.2m [£2.8m] guaranteed, reports NFL Network.

Alualu has recorded 195 tackles and 13 sacks in his five-year NFL career.
