The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Josh Allen in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and they selected a true gem. Although Allen isn’t the most well-liked player in the NFL, he is compensated like one of the greatest in the business despite going seventh overall.

With the $150 million deal that the Jags and Allen agreed to, which includes a guaranteed $88 million, Allen is quickly rising to the top of the NFL’s defensive player rankings.

Allen is deserving of this kind of compensation, especially in light of the fact that he recorded a career-high 17.5 sacks the previous season. In three of his four seasons in the NFL, he had 7.5 sacks or less, but last season was when he truly made an impact.

In addition to his 17.5 sack total, he contributed 33 quarterback hits, 66 tackles, and one interception. The 26-year-old EDGE rusher, who is still developing, had a fantastic season.

There will be extremely high expectations in Jacksonville for the next season, with Trevor Lawrence spearheading the Jags.
