The Jaguars have secured Josh Allen as a crucial part of their long-term plans by signing him to a five-year, $150 million deal, with $88 million guaranteed. This makes him the third-highest paid defensive player in the league. At a press conference, Allen expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and emphasized that his work is not done yet and he still has goals to achieve.
Allen’s new contract averages out to $30 million a year, ranking him behind Nick Bosa and Chris Jones among defensive players. During the 2023 season, Allen broke a franchise record with 17.5 sacks and earned his second Pro Bowl nomination, solidifying his importance to the team’s future. With 45 career sacks and several impressive stats, Allen has set new goals for his career, including winning the Defensive Player of the Year award and becoming the Super Bowl MVP. He remains focused on achieving these milestones and bringing a Super Bowl victory to Jacksonville.
The Jaguars have also been active in the offseason, finalizing deals with other players and signing free agents to strengthen the team. The signing of Allen is just one of many moves that the Jaguars have made to improve their chances of success in the upcoming season.
