The New York Giants weren’t the only team making cuts on Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a trio releases by cutting wide receiver Torry Holt, offensive lineman Tra Thomas and defensive lineman Rob Meier.

Holt—a member of the NFL all-decade team— was third on the team in receiving this season with 51 grabs for 722 yards.

The Jags were nothing but gracious for his time with the organization.

“I’m confident Torry will be a first-ballot Hall of Fame player one day,” team General Manager Gene Smith said in a statement. “He’s a seven-time Pro-Bowl player who ranks 10th in NFL history in receiving yards and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Rams. Torry was a player-coach for us this past year in the way he mentored our inexperienced receiving group, and he was one of the leaders of our team.”

Thomas, appeared in eight games this season with eight starts.

Meier spent the season on injured reserve.
