Trevor Lawerence just agreed to a monster contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Lawrence and the Jaguars agreed to a five-year contract extension with $275 million with $200 million guaranteed and $142 million at signing. Lawrence’s average of $55 million per year matches Joe Burrow as the NFL’s highest-paid player.
Lawrence is coming off a 2023 season that saw him complete 65.6 precent of his passes while thowing for 4,016 yards, 21 touchdowns and 14 inteceptions. In his three seasons with the Jaguars, the Clemson alum has a career passer rating of 85 and record of 20-30. The Jaguars exercised Lawrence’s fifth-year option on his rookie deal in April.
Earlier this month, Lawrence talked about his ongoing contract extension talks. “I’m aware of what’s going on, but I try to keep my focus on doing my job out here,” Lawrence said. “I have full belief that’ll take care of itself and that’s not something that I need to worry about. That’s why I pay people and hire people to do that for me. That’s not my job, but I know what’s going on. I’m aware of the situation, I think that’s important too. I try to keep my focus and energy on being the best player I can be to help us win.”
