It’s safe to say that if the Jacksonville Jaguars could do it all again, they would not have given quarterback Trevor Lawrence a massive contract extension worth over a quarter of a billion dollars during the offseason.
In June, the Jaguars gave Trevor Lawrence a lucrative five-year deal worth $275 million. The contract included a whopping $200 million in guaranteed money, which felt awfully generous for a quarterback who had yet to reach superstar status.
Sure enough, the contract already looks like a colossal mistake. The Jaguars have lost their first three games this season, and Lawrence’s inexplicable regression is a key reason behind it. He’s completing only 52.8 percent of pass attempts for 560 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
If the Jaguars can find a taker for Trevor Lawrence’s contract (and they should, assuming he’d restructure it), they would be wise to dump it as soon as possible. And there’s one team in the NFC that stands out as a logical landing spot for the 2021 first-overall pick.
