The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised their fifth-year option on pass rusher and former No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker, NFL Network reported Monday.
Walker, 24, is entering the fourth season of his rookie contract and is set to earn $1.1 million in base salary in 2025 with a roster bonus of $4.7 million.
The Jags have begun “open conversations” with Walker on a long-term deal, new head coach Liam Coen said last week at the owners meetings.
Walker has 24 sacks, 44 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles and 28 tackles for loss in 49 games (48 starts) since the Jags selected him No. 1 overall in the 2022 draft.
