Jaguars To Use Franchise Tag On JoshAllen

9 months ago

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to place the franchise tag on pass-rusher Josh Allen on Tuesday by the deadline, according to a source. The team has expressed confidence in getting a long-term deal done with Allen by the deadline in mid-July, but if they can't, he'll be on the books for 2024 at $24 million. The 26-year-old has quickly become one of the best pass-rushers in football. Since being selected with the seventh overall pick in 2019 out of Kentucky, he has accumulated 45 sacks, 251 tackles (162 solo), 53 tackles for loss, 103 QB hits, two interceptions, eight passes defensed, nine forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in five seasons. Allen was the No. 5 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues in 2023 with a career-high 17.5 sacks in 17 starts.
