The Jacksonville Jaguars have named David Caldwell as their new general manager.

The Atlanta Falcons' director of player personnel takes over from Gene Smith, who was fired on New Year's Eve.

Caldwell said in a statement: "I am thrilled to accept the offer to become the next general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"There are no bad GM opportunities in the NFL, but to work on behalf of a dynamic owner in a rabid football city like Jacksonville is truly special.

"This is where I wanted to be and I could not be happier. I can't wait to get to Jacksonville and get started."

The Jaguars finished the season 31st in the league with just two wins in 16 games.
