The Carolina Panthers and former Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd have agreed to terms on a three-year, $45 million deal with $25 million guaranteed, according to Mike Garafolo.
Lloyd was widely-regarded as the top free-agent linebacker on the open market. Carolina has invested significant resources in solidifying its front-seven after signing Lloyd and DE Jaelen Phillips to long-term deals.
Lloyd, 27, is a former first-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Utah. He signed a four-year, $12,936,606 rookie contract that includes a $6,588,441.
The Jaguars declined Lloyd’s fifth-year option that would have been worth $14.75 million fully guaranteed. He’s slated to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
In 2025, Lloyd appeared in 15 games for the Jaguars and recorded 81 total tackles, six tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, five interceptions, one touchdown, seven passes defended and one fumble recovery.
