Jaguars Pick Up Travon Walker's Fifth-Year Option
2 weeks agoAri Meirov of The 33rd Team reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have picked up defensive end Travon Walker's fifth-year option. The move adds $14.75 million to his deal, and he'll become a free agent following the 2026 season. Walker has been solid over the past two seasons -- starting all 34 games for the team while accumulating 130 tackles, 20.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumbles recovered. Perhaps not quite playing up to his first-overall draft price; it's not a bad two-year stretch for any player. That said, the Jaguars notched just two sacks per game last season despite Walker and bookend teammate Josh Hines-Allen recording 18.5 sacks combined. Jacksonville has done nothing to improve their pass rush in free agency, so it leads one to believe they'll likely address that aspect in the draft.
