JACKSONVILLE, FL - Lawrence signed a 5-year, $275 million extension with the Jaguars, which makes Lawrence the 11th highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, despite being a former #1 overall pick.
How good of a deal is this for the Jaguars?
Lawrence is poised for a true breakout after steadily improving each season. Outside of his rookie year, Lawrence has developed into a reliable 4,000+ yard passer who is efficient and accurate. Under coach Doug Pederson, Lawrence has increased his air yards per attempt while maintaining his completion percentage.
Lamar Jackson — $51.8M
Jared Goff — $48.4M
Deshaun Watson — $46M
Patrick Mahomes — $45M
Kirk Cousins — $45M
Joe Burrow — $43.8M
Dak Prescott — $42M
Jalen Hurts — $41.6M
Daniel Jones — $41M
Justin Herbert — $40.9M
Trevor Lawrence — $40.4M
The $40.4 million Average Annual Value (AAV) ranks below several quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins, Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones, who has Lawrence outperformed. With Lawrence's expected development, the deal could become a great deal given his immense potential and trajectory as one of the league's rising star quarterbacks.
