JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed Thursday to a five-year, $275 million contract extension that makes him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history, according to a person familiar with negotiations.
The lucrative bump comes nearly a month after the Detroit Lions gave Jared Goff a four-year extension worth $212 million that made him the second-highest paid quarterback. Goff’s average salary is $53 million. The Jaguars point to a 19-game stretch spanning the 2022-23 seasons in which Lawrence was at his best. He threw for 4,713 yards, with 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions as they went 14-5 during that span. General manager Trent Baalke and coach Doug Pederson believe it’s a glimpse of what Lawrence can do when healthy and humming.The top pick in the 2021 draft missed the first game of his professional career following a sprained right shoulder suffered in Week 16 at Tampa Bay.
Lawrence seemingly regressed because of the injuries. He threw for 4,016 yards with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also ran for four scores, lost seven fumbles and was sacked a career-high 35 times.
