Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram walks the sideline during an NFL football game against the Tennessee Titans, Jan. 7, 2023, in Jacksonville, Fla. Engram and the Jaguars agreed Sunday, July 16, 2023 to a three-year, $41.25 million contract that includes $24 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with negotiations. – Tight end Evan Engram and the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed Sunday to a three-year, $41.
Engram had been guaranteed a one-year, $11.345 million deal this season under the franchise tag. But he and the team had been vocal about wanting a long-term deal. Now, Engram will be a key part of Jacksonville's push to repeat as AFC South champions — and beyond. Bringing back Engram, a first-round draft pick by the New York Giants in 2017, never really was in question after he caught 73 passes for 766 yards — both career highs — to go along with four touchdowns last season.
Engram signed a one-year, $9 million contract with the Jags in 2022. General manager Trent Baalke wanted a longer deal, but Engram believed he would flourish with a fresh start outside New York's glaring — and often harsh — spotlight, so he took less money in hopes of landing a bigger payday.
