The Jacksonville Jaguars’ front office went on a shopping spree to kick off the tampering period of free agency on Monday like they were playing Madden’s franchise mode with the salary cap option turned off. Jacksonville signed a whopping six free agents like wide receivers Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, offensive guard Brandon Scherff, and linebacker Foye Oluokun, to name a few.
However, this isn’t a video game, and the Jags still have to play by the NFL’s rules. It wasn’t clear what Scherff’s and Kirk’s contract figures were at the time their agreements were reported on Monday, but they later became available before Day 1 of the tampering period ended.
Spotrac reported that the former Washington Commander guard’s contract is for three years, $45.5 million with $30 million guaranteed. His cap hit is significantly lower in 2022 than in the last two years at only $7.7 million. In 2023, the figure jumps up to $20 million and then $21.5 million during the final year of the agreement.
