Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is signed, sealed and waiting to deliver.
The No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2021 NFL draft and the presumptive savior for a beleaguered franchise, signed a rookie contract on Monday for $36.8 million, which includes $24.1 million in guaranteed money and the usual fifth-year option.
The Jaguars didn’t release the financial terms of the deal but ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing sources, disclosed the specifics, which are standard for NFL rookies given Lawrence’s draft standing.
In addition, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that Lawrence passed a physical that was part of the deal and will get his signing bonus with 15 days, according to his sources.
