Jacksonville Jaguars have been making big moves this offseason, securing new contracts for key players like quarterback Trevor Lawrence and linebacker Josh Allen. Allen signed a lucrative five-year, $150 million deal, while Lawrence made history by becoming the highest-paid player in the NFL with a five-year, $275 million contract. Lawrence emphasized the importance of rewarding players for their exceptional performance, particularly highlighting Allen’s impressive 17.5 sacks last season, which set a franchise record.
In addition to Allen, Lawrence acknowledged the contributions of other players on the team who are instrumental in their success. He praised teammates like Foye Oluokun, Evan Engram, Christian Kirk, Brandon Scherff, Andre Cisco, and Tyson Campbell for their unique skills and solidifying the team’s foundation. Lawrence emphasized the significance of aligning with Allen, both in terms of their contracts and their shared commitment to leading the team towards their championship aspirations.
Despite a rocky start last season, Lawrence remains determined to bring a championship to Jacksonville. The team finished 9-8 last season and narrowly missed the playoffs. Since Lawrence’s arrival in 2021, they have made significant progress, reaching the divisional round in the 2022 season. While Lawrence faced challenges with turnovers and a winless streak in his last five starts, he has already made an impact in franchise history with 20 wins under his belt.
Looking ahead, Lawrence’s vision for the team is clear – to build on the foundation they have established and strive for greatness. With a talented roster and a shared commitment to success, Lawrence believes that the Jaguars have the potential to achieve great things in the upcoming seasons. By rewarding players for their hard work and dedication, the Jaguars are setting themselves up for a bright future filled with exciting possibilities on the field.
