Whimper started 15 times, primarily at right tackle, for the Jaguars in 2011 and opened six games while participating in all 16 contests last season. He also caught a 1-yard touchdown pass as an eligible receiver in a loss at Green Bay back in October.
The 29-year-old signed with the Jaguars in 2010 after being waived by the New York Giants, the team for which Whimper spent the first four seasons of his seven-year career.
The Jaguars also waived quarterback John Parker Wilson and cornerback Brandon King, both of whom ended last season on the club's practice squad.
