Jacksonville

Jaguars

The deal includes $50 million at signing and $77 million in total guarantees. Walker, 25, has sacked opposing quarterbacks 29 times in regular season games over his four-year career. He banked four sacks last year, plus 42 quarterback pressures and a career-high 13.0 percent quarterback pressure rate. Fellow Jaguars EDGE Josh Hines-Allen is under contract through 2028. Today’s deal keeps the starting EDGE duo intact long-term.

It was pointed out by John Shipley a few days ago that Wan’Dale Robinson’s free agent contract might be a starting point for the Washington extension. Walker is entering his final season under his rookie contract’s fifth-year option. Strange and Washington are both on the final year of their rookie contracts. The Jaguars have been uncharacteristically (and probably smartly, given their success last year) quiet in free agency, so perhaps they’re just focusing on locking up their core.

EverBank Stadium is undergoing a major renovation in 2027 — technically 2026 too, but the Jaguars will play that out with reduced capacity in Jacksonville. We’re used to imagining the Jaguars as a future English outlet, but it seems they have gotten everything together to remain in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence and Desmond Bane will battle for the Orlando spotlight in 2027.

Over The Cap projects Harrison’s option at $19 million, but in announcing they’d pick it up, Jaguars GM James Gladstone said they’ll have “deeper conversations” on a long-term extension. Harrison, 24, had his best season yet in 2025, registering a career-high 75.6 PFF pass block grade while protecting Trevor Lawrence.

Hunter underwent surgery to repair the LCL in his right knee after suffering a non-contact knee injury in practice. Coen didn’t put a timeline on when we could see the two-way star back in action, but did say there’s “an unspoken understanding” that the team needs help at corner, and that Hunter is expected to help more on the defensive side of the ball. Given the current state of the Jaguars’ receiving corps, there’s certainly no need to force Hunter on the field on offense outside of select packages, but we’ll get a better sense of how much action he could see on offense once camp starts up.

Robinson signed a four-year, $78 million contract in free agency. Washington is a free agent next year. Robinson’s career average receiving totals handily best Washington’s, but Shipley believes Washington has the potential to “blow Robinson’s resumé out of the water with a solid season.” Robinson cleared 130 targets and 90 receptions in consecutive seasons and totaled 1,014 yards and four touchdowns last year. Washington caught 58-of-88 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns last year. It is his first time clearing 390 yards. That said, Washington broke out in 2025 and operated as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. At least one beat reporter believes he can carry his 2025 momentum into 2026. The Jaguars’ receiving corps pecking order is worth tracking this offseason.

The Seahawks had five days to match the Jaguars’ offer to Bobo, and have opted to do so, signing the third-year receiver to a two-year deal that can pay up to $7 million based on incentives. Bobo caught just two passes for 20 yards last season, but also caught a 17-yard touchdown in the NFC Championship game to beat the Rams and advance to the Super Bowl. The former UDFA has a career receiving line of 34-323-3 but could have a chance to earn an expanded role in 2026 after the team opted to keep him on this new deal.

If this is starting to remind you a lot of last offseason’s Jaguars running back scuttlebutt, well, it should. There were no fantasy-trustworthy options for the majority of the offseason before Travis Etienne eventually emerged as the surefire No. 1 back and Tank Bigsby was dispatched to the Eagles. At least this year’s room only has two options instead of three — for now — with Tuten and Chris Rodriguez both potential leaders of a committee. Whoever wins that job has plenty of fantasy juice backed with what looked to be an ascending pass offense in the last 10 weeks of the season.

Chark, 29, last stepped foot on an NFL field as a member of the Falcons in two 2025 preseason games. He was released before the regular season began and did not sign with a new team. Chark spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jaguars after they drafted him via a second-round pick in 2018. He produced career highs across the board in 2019, catching 73-of-114 targets for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns, and earned Pro Bowl honors for his efforts. He spent 2022 with the Lions, 2023 with the Panthers and 2024 with the Chargers. Over the course of his career, Chark caught 216-of-393 targets for 3,100 yards and 24 touchdowns.

ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Seahawks now have five days to decide whether to match the offer. The original-round tender would have made Bobo $3.52 million this year, though the money is not guaranteed. We do not know what the Jaguars’ offer is, but obviously, they beat the Seahawks’ numbers. The Florida Times-Union notes that the Seahawks will not receive draft pick compensation if they decline to match the offer sheet.
