Linebacker Myles Jack signs $57 million contract extension with Jaguars through 2023
After an offseason of talk about fellow 2016 NFL draft class members Yannick Ngakoue and Jalen Ramsey, fourth-year Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack has signed a deal with the team to keep him as its starting inside linebacker until 2023, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Jack will have a salary cap hit of $2,015,505 this season. The new extension will be the following four years after 2019, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
After a rookie year where the team struggled to find a role for Jack, he has been the team's starting middle linebacker the last two seasons and will do the same this year. Despite dropping to the second round due to injury concerns, Jack has appeared in all 48 possible games in his career, along with three playoff games.
