JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Dallas and Carolina guard Mackenzy Bernadeau, adding some offensive line depth after cutting starter Zane Beadles.
Bernadeau signed a two-year contract worth up to $4 million Friday.
The Jaguars also met with two former New York Giants, cornerback Prince Amukamara and defensive end Robert Ayers. General manager Dave Caldwell says they arrived Thursday and took physicals Friday. But Caldwell says they could interview elsewhere before making a decision.

He started all 16 games for the Cowboys in 2012 and 11 in 2013, but has been a backup since. The 30-year-old Bernadeau is expected to play behind interior linemen Brandon Linder, A.J. Cann and Tyler Shatley.
