The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially exercised the fifth-year option for defensive end Travon Walker, sealing his position with the team through the 2026 NFL season. This decision raises questions about the future of linebacker Devin Lloyd, the 27th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Lloyd, known for his reliable tackling and impressive run defense, is poised to have a significant contract if his fifth-year option is also picked up. Projections suggest he could earn around $14.751 million, a figure reflective of his position and past performance.

Coming off a solid rookie season where he recorded 106 tackles and demonstrated effectiveness in coverage, Lloyd's performance puts him in a strong position for endorsement, especially with the hiring of Anthony Campanile as the new defensive coordinator. With the deadline to decide on his fifth-year option approaching, it will be crucial to watch how this situation unfolds for both Lloyd and the Jaguars.
