In 2023, Lawrence appeared in 16 games and completed 65.6 percent of his passes for 4,016 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions to go along with 334 yards rushing and four touchdowns.   

Etienne, 25, was a three-year starter at Clemson and a first-team All-American in his final three seasons. The Jaguars used the No. 25 overall pick in the first round on him. 

Etienne signed a four-year, $12,898,105 rookie contract with the Jaguars that included a $6,740,440 signing bonus. The Jaguars exercised his fifth-year option worth $6.143 million guaranteed for the 2025 season.
