Matt Dickerson saw the heaviest workload of his career in 2025, his first season with the Jaguars. The veteran defensive lineman will remain in place for next year.

Dickson has re-signed with the Jags, per a team announcement. Instead of exploring the market next month, he will continue his time in Jacksonville. A journeyman across several years in the NFL, Dickerson managed to work his way from the practice squad to the active roster with the Jags in 2025.

The 30-year-old wound up making eight appearances this past season. That included the first four starts of his career. Dickerson logged a defensive snap share of 39%, comfortably the highest of his NFL tenure. He also chipped in on special teams at a higher rate than his previous stops around the league.

Dickerson saw sparse usage with the Titans, Falcons, Chiefs and Dolphins during a stretch from 2018-24. The former undrafted free agent has totaled 48 games in his career during the regular season, although he did not see any time during the 2022 campaign. A Super Bowl winner dating back to his lone year in Kansas City, Dickerson will offer plenty of experience to Jacksonville’s defensive line as he looks to continue carving out a regular role for himself.

The UCLA product was attached to a veteran minimum deal in 2025. This latest pact will no doubt be similar. Jacksonville entered Monday as one of the teams projected to be over the cap, but keeping Dickerson in the fold will not require a notable financial commitment.
