The Jacksonville Jaguars Extend Trevor Lawrence's Contract

Big Payday for Jared Goff
Jared Goff has also received a substantial payday from the Detroit Lions. While the exact terms of his contract extension were not disclosed, it's indicative of the Lions' confidence in Goff as their franchise quarterback moving forward.
Jordan Love's One-Year Extension
In a surprising move, the Green Bay Packers opted to sign Jordan Love to a one-year, $13.5 million extension instead of exercising his fifth-year option. This makes his current contract valid until the end of the 2024 season. The Packers' decision highlights their commitment to evaluating Love's performance as their starting quarterback over the next year.
Tua Tagovailoa's Fifth-Year Option
The Miami Dolphins exercised a fifth-year option on Tua Tagovailoa, making him the 15th-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL for 2024. With his rookie deal set to expire after this season, the Dolphins are expected to sign Tagovailoa to a long-term contract based on his performance this year.
Uncertain Future for Dak Prescott
Dak Prescott's current four-year, $160 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys will expire after the 2024 season. Although Prescott has promised that a new long-term contract will be signed this offseason, negotiations have reportedly not gained much traction. Nevertheless, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains committed to a title run and is likely to push for a new long-term deal with Prescott.
