JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed Thursday to a five-year, $275 million contract extension that makes him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history, according to a person familiar with negotiations.
Lawrence's deal includes $200 million guaranteed and a $37.5 million signing bonus, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side had announced the contract publicly.
Lawrence will get an average of $55 million annually during the deal, tying him with Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow for the most in NFL history.
The lucrative bump comes nearly a month after Detroit gave Jared Goff a four-year extension worth $212 million that made him the second-highest paid quarterback in the league. Goff's average salary is $53 million.
