• Jaguars' Josh Allen: Fifth-year option picked up

  20D ago •

  The Jaguars exercised Allen's fifth-year contract option Thursday. Allen is now set to receive a guaranteed salary of $11.5 million in the 2023 season and figures to be a key piece in the Jaguars' pass rush over the next two years. The No. 7 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft had somewhat of a bounce-back campaign this past year coming off a very disappointing second season in Jacksonville, netting a career-best 71 tackles to go along with 7.5 sacks and one interception over 16 games in 2021.

  Allen had four tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 26-11 win against Indianapolis. Allen played 89 percent of the defensive snaps and finished the season on a strong note with his first sacks since Week 9. Overall it was a disappointing campaign for the 2019 first-round pick, as he totaled 71 tackles (46 solo), 7.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games. The overall quality of the defense around him means more attention from opposing offenses, so Allen could have a tall task again for his fourth season in Jacksonville unless the unit receives an influx of talent heading into 2022.
