Trevor Lawrence could soon join the $50 million per year QB club, but will elite play follow? Here's a breakdown of the determining factors.
Trevor Lawrence's mega extension is inevitable. Contract talks between his reps and the Jaguars' top brass have been ongoing for months. Before the 2024 regular season, the sides are expected to reach agreement on a deal that will make Lawrence one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. It will likely surpass $50 million in average annual value, just as Jared Goff's new contract with the Detroit Lions did earlier this month.
The Jags are banking on continuity and better injury luck to improve the rushing attack. Left tackle Cam Robinson, thought to be a cap casualty candidate, was retained. Jacksonville also extended left guard Ezra Cleveland and restructured right guard Brandon Scherff's contract, assuring his place on the roster in 2024. The new face is free-agent acquisition Mitch Morse, a center who has played 126 games with the Bills and Chiefs, two of the AFC's top teams over the past several years.
