When it comes to rookie contracts, there is not much to negotiate. On one of the few negotiable items, Jaguars receptionist/defensive back player Travis Hunter did very well.

Adam Schefter from ESPN.com reports that Hunter Will receive Its full $ 30.57 million bonus on the front. He is the first non-quarterly that was not taken first to get the full signing bonus.

Often the payments stumble. Sometimes a portion of the money is not paid out for almost a year. There is a real value to get the cash immediately. It can be put to work, which deserves interest while Hunter does nothing.

This is the least the Jaguars can do for a player who has the opportunity to work overtime. His contract will not pay him extra to play both ways; The total money is driven exclusively by the position in which he was drafted.

If it is time for the Jaguars to reach Hunter’s fifth-year option, it will be driven by the position he takes the most. Ditto for the franchise label.

Only in his second contract will Hunter have the opportunity to be paid for both positions. He will only be eligible for his third regular season.

This is when it will become interesting. After the regular season of 2027. Hunter, if he plays both ways on a full -time basis, will have the right to be paid for both of his work.

The interests will be high for both sides. Fortunately, the Jaguars gave up their 2026 first round and more to trade three places in the first round, as they got two players in one-as their two-prices confirmed social media announcement of his signing. At some point, they must deviate from a collective bargaining agreement that does not consider paying extra money to a player playing both ways.

Update 20:05 ET: A league source takes a problem with Schefter’s report that Hunter is the first non-quarterly who was not taken first overall to get his full signing bonus ahead. Per the source, Nick Bosa and Chase Young got their full signing bonuses in front. (There were also many of the second to seventh round choices the full amount of their signing bonuses in front. The numbers were of course much smaller.)
