The Jacksonville Jaguars have secured their offensive weapon, tight end Evan Engram, with a new three-year, $41.25 million contract. This deal, which includes $24 million in guaranteed money, reflects the team’s commitment to building around their rising star quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, and solidifying their dynamic offensive core.
Engram, who joined the Jaguars in 2022 after five seasons with the New York Giants, quickly became a vital part of Jacksonville’s passing game. Last season, he posted a career-high 73 receptions for 766 yards and four touchdowns, proving himself to be a reliable target and a versatile offensive threat. His ability to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties makes him a unique asset in head coach Doug Pederson’s offense, which thrives on flexibility and creativity.
For Engram, the contract represents more than just financial security. “I’ve found a home here in Jacksonville,” Engram said in a press statement. “From day one, the organization, my teammates, and the fans have embraced me. I’m excited to continue building something special here.” The Jaguars’ front office echoed this sentiment, with General Manager Trent Baalke praising Engram’s work ethic and leadership qualities, saying, “Evan’s been a great addition to our locker room. His production speaks for itself, and he’s been a positive influence both on and off the field.”
This deal also signals Jacksonville’s intentions to compete in the AFC South and beyond. By locking in key players like Engram, the Jaguars are positioning themselves as contenders in a highly competitive division. With Lawrence under center and Engram as a dependable playmaker, the Jaguars’ offense is poised to take another step forward.
Engram’s new contract sets the stage for a promising future in Jacksonville, where the focus is clearly on winning and building a championship-caliber team. As Engram and the Jaguars embark on this three-year journey together, fans have every reason to be excited about what lies ahead.
