Jacksonville Jaguars star pass-rusher Travon Walker is getting a massive paycheck.

Walker, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and the Jaguars have agreed to a four-year deal worth $110 million with $77 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Jaguars are investing in Walker, who was the top pick in 2022 with Michigan star Aidan Hutchinson going No. 2 overall to the Detroit Lions.

Walker had 10 sacks in 2023 and 10.5 sacks in 2024, but he recorded just 3.5 sacks in 2025 in 14 regular-season games.

Details: 4 Years.
$110M Contract.
$77M Total Guarantees.
&50M Fully Guaranteed At Signing — all per @eliteloyaltysp. https://t.co/qyE3nPw939

Still, this is a nice value for Walker, with the average coming in at $27.5 million per season. The Baltimore Ravens gave Trey Hendrickson a four-year, $112 million deal in free agency, and Hutchinson inked a four-year, $180 million deal with the Lions in 2025.

Rapoport added that Walker and the Jaguars had been in contract discussions “for weeks” before finally getting things ironed out on Friday, and it’s a smart move for both sides of the equation.

The Jaguars won the AFC South in Liam Coen’s first season as head coach, but they lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round. Still, there is plenty of hope in Jacksonville, and the former No. 1 pick is sticking around with a handsome new contract.
