Jaguars Lock in Key Players: Walker, Washington, Strange

On April 1st, fresh off the NFL League meetings, the Jacksonville Jaguars are in contract extension talks with three key players, Edge-Russia Trevon, Walker, wide receiver-parker Washington, and Titan Brinton Strange.

Walker is on his fifth year option through the 2026 season, while Washington and Strange head into the final year of their rookie.

Contracts. Walker dealt with injuries last year, playing just 14 gains with 44 pressures and 3.5 sacks, but he bounced back strong.

Before that, hitting double-ditted sacks in 2024 and 2023, ranking top 25 in pressures among Edge-Ruskers.

Washington stepped up big time, leading the team with 954 receiving yards, and topping 100 yards in three of the last four.

Games. Becoming Trevor Lawrence's go-to guy down the stretch. Strange added 549 yards and three touchdowns as a reliable pass catcher, but is blocking in versatility across the formation.

Really opened up the offense for coordinator Liam Cohen. With these talks heating up, the Jags are locking in their young core before they hit free agency.
