The Jacksonville Jaguars signed franchise-tagged tight end Evan Engram to a three-year contract, his agent, Mike McCartney, announced Sunday.
The deal is worth $41.25 million and includes $24 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Engram's reported average annual salary ($13.75 million) now ranks sixth among tight ends, according to Spotrac.
The 28-year-old received the $11-million tight end tag earlier this offseason after setting career highs with 73 receptions and 766 yards during his first year with the Jaguars in 2022. He also caught four touchdowns.
The Ole Miss product was an important weapon in a Jaguars offense led by rising quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville also rosters wide receivers Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and Zay Jones, among others.
Engram began his career with the New York Giants, who drafted him 23rd overall in 2017. He played five seasons in New York, earning a Pro Bowl berth in 2020.
The deadline for tagged players to sign multi-year deals is Monday at 4 p.m. ET.
Now that Jaguars TE Evan Engram has a new three-year deal, there are three remaining franchise players seeking long-term deals before Monday’s 4 pm ET deadline:
