The Jacksonville Jaguars officially signed first-round pick Travis Hunter to his rookie deal on Sunday, a four-year, $46.65 million fully guaranteed contract. As part of the deal, the Jaguars paid his $30.57 million signing bonus entirely upfront, making Hunter the first non-quarterback not picked No. 1 in the draft to receive his whole signing bonus upfront.

The Jaguars additionally broke the news that they had signed Hunter in unique fashion by making two announcements. In one post, the Jaguars said "We have signed DB Travis Hunter," while in the other they said, "We have signed WR Travis Hunter," a nod to Hunter planning to play on both sides of the ball at the NFL level.
