Jaguars' Travon Walker gets $30 million contract update amid extension talks

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Travon Walker may be together for the long haul.

They've already engaged in contract extension talks with the star pass rusher, who is coming off consecutive seasons with double-digit sacks.

Over the last two seasons, Walker has 20.5 sacks, ranked fifth in the NFL for that span.

Bleacher Report's Alex Kay pitches an extension for Walker like this:

While Walker hasn’t garnered any Pro Bowl nods, it seems it’s only a matter of time before the rangy, athletic edge-rusher earns more recognition. It hasn’t helped Walker’s case that the Jaguars struggled in recent seasons, including a trying 2024 that saw the club post an unsightly 4-13 record while fielding a poor defense that ranked No. 31 in the league in yards conceded.

Brighter days are ahead for the Jags under the incoming regime helmed by head coach Liam Coen and general manager James Gladstone. Walker appears to be in the team’s long-term plans, evidenced by his fifth-year option being picked up while fellow 2022 first-rounder Devin Lloyd had his declined.

Jacksonville’s brass has engaged in extension talks with Walker, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him eventually cash in with a new deal that pays him in the neighborhood of $30 million per season.

Jacksonville has a solid core with the likes of Trevor Lawrence and Travis Hunter. 

It'd be wise to sign Walker long-term to keep him with this group for the foreseeable future.
