A few days later, the Jaguars officially agreed to terms on a contract extension with defensive end Travon Walker.

com/HXkzWy5b6m — Jacksonville Jaguars (@Jaguars) April 3, 2026 According to multiple reports, it’s a four-year deal worth $110 million with $77 million guaranteed. Walker, one of just six non-quarterbacks to be drafted first overall over the past 25 years, is now the NFL’s 12th-highest-paid EDGE in terms of average annual salary. He also ranks 14th in AAV% of the cap (per @djDELFONIK ), as well as 10th in total value and seventh in guaranteed money (per Over The Cap ).

The deal will likely save Jacksonville some money in 2026, as Walker’s $15. 2 million cap could be lowered to about $8-9 million. It will almost certainly age well, considering Walker decided to put pen to paper before potentially upping his value during a contract year.
