Trevor Lawrence has signed a four-year, $36.8 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars that includes $24.1 million in guaranteed money. The Jaguars confirmed the deal but did not release terms of the contract; however according to reports, the rookie contact also includes the standard fifth-year option with the majority of compensation set to be paid from 2022 to 2024 in the form of roster bonuses.
The 21-year-old Lawrence was the top pick in April’s NFL Draft out of Clemson, where he won the national championship in 2019 and made the College Football Playoff in each of his three years under coach Dabo Swinney. At Clemson, Lawrence went 34-2 as a starter, recording for 10,098 yards and 90 touchdowns while becoming the only quarterback to win three ACC Championship games.
Lawrence participated in the Jaguars’s rookie minicamp last month and is now expected to be present for the first day of training camp at the end of this month.
