Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen is one of the best players in his position. The Kentucky alum has been with the Jaguars since his rookie year and has earned two Pro Bowl nods in his NFL career.
According to reports, the Jaguars placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Allen before the 2024 NFL season. That means Allen will earn a $24 million salary in 2024, giving the Jaguars ample time to work out a long-term extension with the star linebacker.
However, if both parties do not agree a new contract by Jul. 15, 2024, Allen will play on the tag in the 2024 NFL season.
