The Jacksonville Jaguars are engaged in discussions regarding a contract extension for defensive end Travon Walker. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed that they are having 'open conversations' about Walker's future with the team. As the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Walker is entering the final year of his rookie deal, with the possibility of a fifth-year option for the 2025 season.

Should the Jaguars choose to exercise this option, it would guarantee Walker a lucrative contract for the 2026 season, estimated at $14.75 million. The deadline for this decision is May 1st. A long-term extension could be negotiated within the next month or the team may opt to exercise the fifth-year option, allowing more time for further discussions. Walker has made a significant impact, ranking among the top defensive ends in pressures and run stops this season.
