Tight End · Jacksonville Jaguars

Brenton Strange

No. 85 · 4th season

Brenton Strange just got paid — three years, $48 million, and a lot of trust from Jacksonville

Some players spend their careers waiting for a number that says the team actually believes in them. Brenton Strange just got one.

Strange plays tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars — a position that asks you to block like a lineman one play and run like a receiver the next. It is one of the harder jobs on the field to do well, and harder still to do well enough that a team locks you in long-term.

The Jaguars just did exactly that. The two sides agreed on a three-year extension worth up to $48 million, with $25 million guaranteed. That guaranteed number is the one that matters — it means Jacksonville is not hedging; they are committing.

For a young tight end still building his name, $25 million guaranteed is not a vote of confidence. It is the whole ballot. The Jaguars are betting their offense runs through him for the next few years, and Strange now has the contract that makes that official.

The question now is what he does with the room that kind of security creates.
