Josh allen is the jaguars’ very own quarterback, and he’s also a legend. If josh allen were to become a free agent, the team could afford to lose one of the league’s most coveted players.
According to a espn article, they could place him under the franchise name if they are unable to reach an agreement for a contract extension soon (via dov kleiman). This isn’t a surprise, considering that reports had also stated that he was “generally expected” to be tagged last week.
Allen will earn $24 million next season if that happens and he accepts it. The 26-year-old is off to the best start to his career.
He recorded 17.5 sacks, 66 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 33 quarterback hits, two force fumbles, one pass defense, and one intercept. That was good for career highs in sacks, tackles for loss, and qb hits.
Both sides have gone back and forth in negotiations for a long-term extension, but they have been vocal about their desire to get a deal done at some point.
By putting him under the symbol, they will have more time to reach an agreement.
The jaguars are coming off a disappointing season, and they’ll be looking to bounce back stronger next season, especially because they’ll face c.j. sullivan.
Stroud and anthony richardson meet twice a year, so they need to make sure they have their star pass rusher on the field.
