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 $142 million fully 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.
