Trevor Lawrence, the talented young quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has secured his future with the team by agreeing to a lucrative five-year contract extension worth $275 million, as reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. This deal includes an impressive $200 million in guarantees, with $142 million of that sum fully guaranteed at the time of signing.
At just 24 years old, Lawrence was set to enter the fourth season of his rookie contract, but the Jaguars exercised their fifth-year option earlier this offseason, ensuring he remained under team control for the immediate future. Selected as the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lawrence has shown immense promise in his young career.
He has started in 50 regular-season games, accumulating a record of 20 wins and 30 losses. During this time, he has completed 63.8% of his passes, throwing for a total of 11,770 yards, 58 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions.
Lawrence’s impact was particularly notable in the 2022 season, where he led the Jaguars to an AFC South title and secured a playoff victory. His outstanding performance throughout the season earned him a well-deserved Pro Bowl selection.
With this contract extension, Lawrence becomes one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league, underscoring the Jaguars’ commitment to building their franchise around his exceptional talent and potential. The deal is expected to be formally announced soon, and further details will be covered extensively by NFL media outlets, including Around the NFL.
