Trevor Lawrence signs rookie contract with Jacksonville Jaguars
The No. 1 pick has formally committed his future to Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Lawrence has signed a customary four-year rookie deal — worth $36.8 million in addition to a $24.1 million signing bonus. Naturally, the Jags will have the option to exercise Lawrence’s fifth-year option in 2024.
The former Clemson product is one of only two quarterbacks from the 2020 draft class to sign their rookie deals.
Chicago’s Justin Fields put pen to paper last month, though fellow first-rounders; New England’s Mac Jones, San Francisco’s Trey Lance and New York’s Zac Wilson have yet to sign on.
Lawrence will likely make his first official start for the Jags at home to Houston on September 12.
