The Jacksonville Jaguars announced they will exercise the 2027 contract option on right tackle Anton Harrison, a first-round pick by the team in 2023. This will guarantee Harrison's entire 2027 season with the Jaguars.

Why it matters

Exercising the fifth-year option on a first-round draft pick is a common practice in the NFL, allowing teams to retain top talent for an additional season beyond the initial four-year rookie contract. This move signals the Jaguars' long-term commitment to Harrison as a key part of their offensive line.

The details

Jaguars general manager James Gladstone confirmed the team will pick up the 2027 option on Harrison, a move that will fully guarantee his salary for that season. The Jaguars selected Harrison in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and this option will keep him under contract through the 2027 season.
