Quarterback Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars is still without an extension.

Lawrence’s deal is guaranteed until 2025, but he may now negotiate a long-term extension after the Jaguars exercised their $25.6 million 2025 option on the former Clemson Tigers star signal-caller back in 2024.

Though neither Lawrence nor the other party have received an offer that they can accept, they appear to be working on it.

The 2024 NFL season is still some months away, but in order to wrap up a significant offseason story and allow the team to fully concentrate on training camp preparation, it would be great if a deal could be reached before the start of the season.

It is a waiting game for Trevor Lawrence

Having said that, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network appeared to imply that Trevor Lawrence would gain more by holding out a little while longer for an extension from the Jaguars.

One reason is that Tua Tagovailoa’s possible contract from the Miami Dolphins may encourage Lawrence to demand a higher pay package. Lawrence can gain something by taking a step back and telling himself to wait.

Perhaps Tua [Tagovailoa], who has undoubtedly desired an extension completed this spring. Rapoport stated that there is still a chance for it.

“Is there anything that can be done in the upcoming days? These things are quite changeable. Everything is in the air. All of it is undoubtedly feasible there.

As of right now, Tagovailoa’s deal with the Dolphins does not extend past the 2024 NFL season. For the 2024 NFL season, he will get $23.171 million thanks to a club option that Miami acquired back in 2023.

In any case, Spotrac estimates Tagovailoa’s market value to be $198.579 million over the course of four years. This equals a $49.6 million average yearly wage.

In contrast, Lawrence’s estimated market worth over a six-year period, according to Spotrac, is an astounding $278.558 million. The yearly average value is $46.4 million.

In the midst of the background chatter regarding contracts, Lawrence recently expressed his thoughts, adding that he’s still all about performing his job.

“For that reason, I employ and pay people to do that work for me.” It is not my responsibility. Of course I am aware of what is happening. I understand the circumstances. That is, in my opinion, also crucial.

The quarterback for the Jaguars, the first overall choice in the 2021 NFL Draft, stated recently, “But I try to keep all my focus and energy on being the best player I can be to help us win.”

Although Trevor Lawrence hasn’t had a losing record in the previous two seasons, the jury may still be out on him. The quarterback, 24, had a 9-8 record in 2022 and was selected to the Pro Bowl. In 2023, he had an 8-8 record.

Lawrence had a total of 8,129 passing yards with 46 touchdowns against 22 interceptions and a 65.9 percent completion percentage during those two years, both of which were under Doc Pederson.
