<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla. &mdash; Veteran linebacker Damien Wilson signed with Jacksonville on Friday, giving the Jaguars an experienced option as they transition to a 3-4 defensive scheme.</p>
<p>Wilson, who visited Jacksonville on Wednesday, spent the last two years with Kansas City. He started 13 games in 2020, missing three contests late in the season because of a knee injury. He returned in the postseason and started all three games, including the Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay.</p>
<p>He started all 16 regular-season games in 2019 plus three more in the postseason, including the team’s Super Bowl victory against San Francisco.</p>
<p>A fourth-round draft pick by Dallas in 2015, Wilson spent his first four years in the NFL with the Cowboys. </p>
<p>Jacksonville expects linebackers Myles Jack and Joe Schobert to play the middle of its revamped defense but was looking to add depth alongside second-year pro Shaq Quarterman and third-year pro Quincy Williams.</p>
