News broke Wednesday morning that the Jacksonville Jaguars signed star pass rusher Josh Allen to a contract extension. He is now the highest-paid Jaguar ever, and deservedly so.
Allen is also one of the highest-paid players in the NFL today.
His deal was initially described as a five-year commitment worth $150 million. A few hours later, Pro Football Talk revealed the true base value as $141.25 million. That ranks third among all non-quarterbacks behind only Nick Bosa and Chris Jones; Allen’s $28.25 million annual salary ranks fourth behind Bosa, Jones and Tyreek Hill.
