The Lions waived Hallett on Saturday.
Hallett appeared in two regular-season games for the Lions, including one start, but he has not played since Week 7 against the Buccaneers. The third-year pro will look to join a team in need of depth in the secondary, assuming he clears waivers.
The Jaguars selected Hallett in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, 208th overall.
It's interesting the Jaguars listed Hallett as a safety despite the Pittsburgh product seemingly undersized at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds. Hallett has some of the biggest hands of any draft-eligible secondary player and had plus-level athleticism in terms of three-cone (6.84) and vertical jump (37.5), but it's hard to tell if those traits will help him stand out in a Jaguars secondary that has added multiple pieces on Day 3.
