The Jacksonville Jaguars agree to a $150 million, 5-year deal with Josh Allen, making him the third-highest-paid defensive player in the league. The team used the franchise tag on Allen in March and released three defensive starters to create cap space. Allen had a standout year in 2023 with career highs in sacks, quarterback hits, and tackles.
The Jaguars express their desire to keep Allen in Jacksonville and are looking forward to negotiating a deal that works for everyone. Despite having a strong pairing with Travon Walker, the team still needs to bolster their pass rush position in the upcoming draft.
