I would argue Trevor should be getting a percentage stake in Jaguars ownership because of the role he's already played in securing the franchise's future in Jacksonville. They doesn't come out publicly with a proposal for the stadium renovations in Jax -- in which the city would've been on the hooked for a billion dollars, in the original version of the plan -- without the late run he and his team had to close out the 2022 season, It would've been a terrible image play for the Jaguars if they had presented that same plan coming off another bad season. That Trevor hasn't "looked" like an elite quarterback for a full season is honestly beside the point.

[@mattjones1378]

With contracts blowing up especially for wide receivers and edge rushers, $50M a year a QB now will be the going rate salary or maybe higher for a good (not top tier qb) in a year or 2. Beneficial cost wise for the Jaguars front office to lock him into a new contract now. Trevor has the potential to not be just a good qb but an elite. He's really only in his 3rd season as the 1st season was a waste with a disastrous first time NFL head coach and lack of talent surrounding him. With a improved offensive line and talented speed wr on the outside and continuity with his current receivers and SB head coach, he has the opportunity live up to that hype coming out of college.

[@thexirvrj2442]

He deserves no more than what Daniel Jones has got and he should even be in consideration for a contact close to Baker Mayfields, let alone guys like Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, etc. Trevor Lawrence is a close to being a bust without actually being a bust that an insanely over hyped prospect has ever been.

The problem with everyone in this comment section is that they blame Lawrence for not proving enough. In reality, if we only consider the times that Lawrence hasnt been injured due to his own OL being garbage, we see a QB that has consistently been a top 5 QB at the very least. The problem is, the guy was playing with a concussion, an injured ankle and two other injuries, something no active starting QB has done before, yet we're blaming him for playing bad? I agree that they should wait to see if he can prove to have a full consistent and healthy season before paying him, because we havent gotten to see enough of a healthy Trevor, but to blame him for that lack of consistency is idiotic.
