The Jacksonville Jaguars and Pro Bowl linebacker Josh Allen have agreed on a significant five-year contract extension worth $150 million, with $88 million guaranteed. This deal makes Allen one of the highest-paid players at his position in the NFL. Allen's performance last season, achieving a Jaguars franchise-record 17.5 sacks and generating a career-high 96 pressures, the 2nd-most in the NFL, along with career-highs in pressure rate (19.6%) and defensive stops (49), played a crucial role in securing this extension. The contract was negotiated by WME Sports. This agreement follows the Jaguars' strategy over the past three offseasons of using the franchise tag on key players and subsequently signing them to long-term deals, as seen with OT Cam Robinson in 2022, TE Evan Engram in 2023, and now OLB Josh Allen in 2024.
