The Jacksonville Jaguars and quarterback Trevor Lawrence have agreed to a five-year contract extension worth up to $275 million with $200 million guaranteed, a source confirmed to FOX Sports’ Ben Arthur.
NFL Media first reported the extension.
Lawrence is now tied with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow for the highest contract average annual value — $55 million per year — in NFL history.
Lawrence has put together an up-and-down career in the NFL since he went No. 1 overall to Jacksonville in the 2021 NFL Draft as the consensus top prospect in the class. He reached the College Football Playoff three times and won a national championship at Clemson.
Lawrence has a 63.8 completion percentage, 11,770 pass yards, 58 touchdowns and 39 interceptions in his three-year NFL career. Lawrence has made the playoffs once, in 2022, leading a dramatic 27-point comeback against the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round before losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.
