JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars have released cornerback Davon House, the team announced Monday.

The move was not a surprise considering there were reports last week that the Jaguars were shopping House for a possible trade. House was due to make $6 million in each of the next two seasons, and his release means the Jaguars now have approximately $79 million in cap space.

House thanked the Jaguars in an Instagram post and offered his services to the rest of the NFL.

Thank you guys for taking the house family in with open arms. It's been real duvalllllllll NOW who is looking for a steal at CB! Any takers 👀😎 A post shared by davon house (@davonhouse31) on Mar 6, 2017 at 12:28pm PST

House, 27, signed a four-year, $24.5 million contract with $10 million guaranteed in March 2015. He set a single-season franchise record with 23 pass breakups in 2015 but lost his starting job last season after the first four weeks. House played mainly on special teams with minimal snaps on defense.

When the season ended, House said he shouldn't have been benched and that former coach Gus Bradley never gave him an answer for why he was.

"The situation this year, if you ask me, was not football-related," House told the Florida Times-Union in January. "There is no reason why I shouldn't have been on the field. But with a new coach coming in, he's going to see what I can do, he's going to see what I did last year, and they're going to like what they see."

House played four seasons in Green Bay before signing with the Jaguars. He started 14 games in those four seasons and broke up 27 passes with two interceptions.

In addition to the 23 pass breakups, House led the Jaguars with four interceptions in 2015.
