Signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Jaguars in June of 2025.
Career-high stops in 2025
Gardeck logged 48 tackles (28 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Gardeck ended the 2024 regular season on the Cardinals' injured reserve after tearing his ACL in October. He caught on with the Jaguars on a one-year deal in 2025 and progressed enough in his recovery to be available for Week 1. He worked in a rotational role on defense, and while his sack total was his lowest over his last three years, he finished with a career high in tackles while appearing in every single game for the Jaguars, including in the AFC wild-card round against the Bills. Gardeck is an unrestricted free agent but could remain in Jacksonville.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The Cardinals have employed Gardeck on special teams since he joined the pro ranks in 2018 as an undrafted free agent. When he finally got some work on defense in 2020, he had a mini breakout in the form of seven sacks on just 93 snaps. Since then, though, he's mustered only one sack in 28 games over the last two campaigns. Two factors may aid in a revival for Gardeck in the fall: J.J. Watt (retired) and Zach Allen (Denver) aren't on the roster, leaving holes to fill in the pass rush for a new 4-3 scheme.
