Hines-Allen’s April 2024 deal ($150M over five years, $88M guaranteed) made him NFL’s seventh-highest edge defender. His franchise-record 17.5 sacks (2023) justified $30M AAV investment locking defensive cornerstone through prime years.
Trevor’s $30M Net Worth Foundation
Lawrence accumulated $30 million through $70M career earnings (Spotrac) including $36.79M rookie contract plus $39M earned 2024 alone from extension signing bonus. His endorsement portfolio with Gatorade, Bose, Subway generates $5M annually beyond football salary.
| Player | Est. Net Worth | Career Earnings | Age | Key Brands |
| Trevor Lawrence | $30M | $70M+ | 26 | Gatorade, Bose, Subway |
| Josh Hines-Allen | $18M-$28M | $52M+ | 27 | Regional partnerships |
| Foyesade Oluokun | $12M-$20M | $38M+ | 30 | – |
| Travon Walker | $15M-$22M | $37.37M rookie | 25 | Nike deals |
| Evan Engram (departed) | $20M-$30M | $78M+ career | 30 | Released March 2025 |
Lawrence’s rapid wealth growth stems from $46.8M signing bonus (2024) creating immediate $30M+ post-tax windfall. His marriage to former soccer player Marissa Mowry adds joint household investments including Nashville real estate portfolio estimated $5M+ value.
Walker’s #1 overall 2022 pick generated $37.37M fully guaranteed rookie contract ($24.37M signing bonus) creating $15-22M current net worth. Extension talks loom 2025 offseason with $20-25M AAV projected matching elite edge market before fifth-year option ($15M+ estimated) decision 2026.
Kirk Release Creates Largest Penalty
Christian Kirk’s four-year $72M deal (2022) became albatross after injuries limited production. His March 2025 release saved $10.37M versus $24.4M original charge yet triggered $13.65M dead money representing worst receiver cut in franchise history.
Kirk’s Jacksonville Tenure: 168 catches, 2,053 yards, 13 TDs across 37 games (2022-2024) averaging $3.51M per touchdown demonstrating poor value. Career-year 2022 (84 catches, 1,108 yards, 8 TDs) preceded two injury-plagued seasons justifying release.
Scherff’s Void Year Nightmare: Five-time Pro Bowl guard’s 2023 release created $12.4M 2025 dead cap from restructured bonuses. His Washington-Jacksonville career earnings ($96M+) demonstrate veteran wealth yet Jaguars absorb final accounting pain.
Engram’s Tight End Tax: Three-year $41.25M deal (2022) featured aggressive void years creating $11.2M 2025 dead charge despite March 2024 release. Combined Kirk-Scherff-Engram penalties ($37.25M) equal Trevor Lawrence’s 2025 cap hit demonstrating mismanagement cost.
2026 Outlook: Marginal Improvement
Jacksonville projects $24M available space (42 players under contract) providing minimal extension flexibility. Campbell ($8.01M 5th-year option expiring), Walker ($11.89M), Davis ($7.42M final year) create $25-30M annual commitment decisions.
Dead Cap Carryover: Scherff ($4.1M 2026), Kirk ($3.2M 2026), Robertson-Harris ($2.1M 2026) maintain perpetual penalty burden unlike teams with clean books.
Lawrence Escalation: $31M cap hit (2026), $41M (2027), $51M (2028) creates ascending quarterback costs requiring surrounding talent via draft versus expensive free agency.
Jaguars’ restructure addiction (Little, Brown, Savage all converted 2025 salaries) defers accounting pain creating 2027-2028 balloon payments requiring either cap increases or veteran cuts limiting sustained contention window.
