2025 Fantasy Outlook
Savage started in all 13 games he played for his first season with Jacksonville in 2024, and he tied a career low with 51 tackles (40 solo). He had one interception among six passes defensed, which was just his second pick since the 2021 campaign. Savage should pair with Eric Murray as the Jaguars' starters at safety but likely won't have much IDP viability. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a contract with the Commanders in September of 2025.
Headed to Washington
Savage signed a one-year deal with the Commanders on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Maryland product was cut by the Jaguars on Sep. 16 after recording just one solo tackle across the team's first two games. However, he was quickly picked up by Washington, where injuries to Will Harris (leg) and Percy Butler (hip) will likely allow him to contribute immediately. Savage is projected to serve as one of the Commanders' top reserve safeties for the remainder of the season.

Early on in his four-year career, Savage seemed destined for big things, but after taking a step back in 2021, he took another one in the same direction last season. He's set to remain Green Bay's starting free safety, but he lost that spot at one point in 2022, so there's no guarantee he holds onto it. Savage racked up just 121 tackles and three interceptions in 33 games over the last two years, so those in IDP leagues may want to look elsewhere.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No progress on extension
Savage has not had any contract extension talks with the Packers, making it more likely he will leave in free agency, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old safety played a career-low 10 regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple injuries, but Savage came up big in the playoffs with a pick-six in the wild-card round against the Cowboys. The void years on his old contract mean he will carry a dead cap hit of about $5.5 million for Green Bay in 2024, but the team made no effort to work out an extension that would have avoided the charge. Savage could get a contract in free agency worth between $5 million and $7 million per season.
