Report: Jaguars, Robinson strike 3-year, $54M deal

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a three-year, $54-million deal with left tackle Cam Robinson that replaces his franchise tag, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Jaguars previously designated the 26-year-old as their franchise player for the second time in as many years, blocking him from free agency in two straight offseasons.

Robinson began his career in Jacksonville as a second-round draft pick in 2017. The Alabama product has struggled against the run game throughout his career but has been more steady in pass protection.

The Robinson deal presumably removes Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu from consideration for the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Both left tackles had been mentioned as candidates to go first overall, but edge rushers Aidan Hutchinson and Travon Walker are the favorites to land in Jacksonville.
