Four months after the Jaguars placed the franchise tag on tight end Evan Engram, the 28-year-old has finally secured a long-term deal.
Engram and the team agreed to a three-year, $41.25 million contract on Sunday, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $24 million in guaranteed money and comes after he was initially set to play the 2023 season under the aforementioned franchise tag, which guaranteed him $11.345 million.
After spending his first five professional seasons with the Giants, Engram signed a one-year deal with the Jaguars as a free agent in March 2022. He broke out for a career season, setting new highs with 73 catches for 766 yards, starting all 17 games to help lead Jacksonville to a 9-8 record and the franchise’s first playoff appearance since 2017.
