The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Monday that they have exercised defensive end Travon Walker's fifth-year option, which is a good sign for the team further extending the former No. 1 pick in the future.
Walker is entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, meaning the Jaguars have locked him in through the next two seasons at least. The fifth-year option is projected to be a fully guaranteed $14,751,000 for next season, The Florida Times-Union reported.
