Following the best statistical season of his NFL career, Geoff Swaim has become the latest former Cowboy headed to the AFC. The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Friday that they have signed the free agent tight end.

Swaim got off to a strong start last season, catching 26 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' first 10 games. But a wrist injury in Week 11 forced him to be placed on injured reserve.

He caught a total of nine passes in his three previous seasons with the Cowboys.

Swaim, a seventh-round pick out of Texas in 2015, wasn't expected to re-sign with the Cowboys. They already have five tight ends -- Jason Witten, Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz, Rico Gathers and Codey McElroy -- under contract for the 2019 season. They also could look to get younger at the position in the draft.

Swaim is the third player from the Cowboys' 2018 roster to sign with another team during the first week of free agency. Wide receiver Cole Beasley signed with the Buffalo Bills, and linebacker Damien Wilson signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.
