This isn’t a big surprise since Allen has been the team’s best pass rusher the past few seasons.
The fifth-year option for Allen is projected to be $11.5 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season.
Allen, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2019. He’s currently in the fourth year of his four-year, $22,742,636 rookie contract that included a $14,560,100 signing bonus.
In 2021, Allen appeared in 16 games for the Jaguars and recorded 71 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, a recovery and four pass deflections.
