The Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence’s remarkable perspective on his contract situation is absolutely spot on.
If the young quarterback had performed well in the closing games, securing a significant contract extension would have likely been a top priority for the organization this offseason. However, he struggled, throwing seven interceptions in three of his last four games, leading to Jacksonville squandering an 8-3 start and missing the playoffs entirely. Their seemingly assured divisional title slipped away, with the lowly Tennessee Titans unexpectedly ending the season prematurely for both the team and its fans.
Despite battling multiple injuries during the Jaguars’ downfall, including a shoulder injury that sidelined him for Week 17, the overall outcome paints a bleak picture. Can he elevate this franchise to greatness? And if the front office believes the answer is “yes,” which seems likely at this point, is there a sense of urgency to finalize a new contract?
The 24-year-old quarterback is not concerning himself with those details, leaving negotiations to his agent and general manager Trent Baalke. His focus remains on playing his part in steering Jacksonville back toward success.
