The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed pass rusher Josh Allen to a five-year, $150 million contract with $88 million guaranteed. This lucrative extension solidifies Allen’s future with the team as they look to build a competitive squad for the long term.
Allen, who is just 26 years old, had an impressive 2021 season, recording 17.5 sacks and earning a spot in the Pro Bowl. His outstanding performance on the field made him one of the top pass rushers in the league, leading to this deal.
Drafted by the Jaguars in 2019 out of Kentucky, Allen has proven to be a valuable asset to the team. After playing out his rookie deal and receiving the franchise tag last month, he is now secure in his place in Jacksonville for years to come.
The specifics of the contract structure have not been disclosed, but it is clear that this significant investment reflects the team’s commitment to keeping top talent on their roster. With Allen locked in, the Jaguars are well-positioned to be competitive in the NFL for years ahead.
