Lawrence is currently the 22nd highest paid QB in the NFL. He probably gets something between
Justin Herbert $52.5 5 years $262.5m and Josh Allen $43m 6 years $258m

Probably something like $42m/5 years $230m which would put him as the 8th highest paid QB.

Daniel Jones, Dak Prescott, and Matt Stafford are at $40m 4 years $160m, which puts them as the 10th highest paid QBs in the NFL.

To answer the question, yes. The overall culture of this franchise has changed. The Jaguars are relevant again like back in the mid to late 1990’s, winning division titles and making playoff pushes.

NFL contracts are based on what you can do for a franchise in the future. Trevor Lawrence is the only QB in franchise history to start their Jaguars career with 3500 yards passing yards in the first 3 seasons.

If the Jaguars make the playoffs next week, Lawrence will join Mark Brunell as the only QBs in franchise history to lead the franchise to the playoffs twice in their first 3 seasons as the starting QB.

If Lawrence plays in next weeks game, he has a chance to be the first player in Jaguars history to start their career with 3 straight seasons of 4,000 yards passing, with guys like Ben Bartch blocking for him.

Lawrence has made a Pro Bowl and was a league MVP candidate in 2022, and was part of NFL history in the Chargers playoff game with the 3rd largest comeback in NFL playoff history.

Him and Doug have a great Head Coach/QB relationship. He also appears to have great chemistry with Christian Kirk, Engram, Travis Etienne, Jamal Agnew, and Zay Jones even though he’s been hurt most of the season.

Trevor Lawrence is the face of the franchise for years to come. He’s got a chance of being a Jaguars all-time great.
