Who is the highest-paid player on the Jacksonville Jaguars?

The highest-paid player on the current Jacksonville Jaguars roster is Cam Robinson, an offensive tackle that played his college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Robinson was the first pure freshman to start at left OT for Alabama since Andre Smith in 2006. He was a unit at his position, putting up Madden stats.

Robinson surrendered only three quarterback sacks throughout 861 snaps. Furthermore, he was a vital part of an o-line that gave up just 1.14 sacks per game, ranked in the top 15 nationally, while raking up blocking stats for 484.5 yards of total offense per game. His college accolade includes being named a Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America.

Robinson was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars as the 34th overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft. On getting into the league, he was named a starter at left tackle as a rookie in 2017, starting 15 games for the Jaguars.

He has remained a key figure in a rebuilding Jaguars team and hot franchise tagged on March 9, 2021. The Jaguars put the franchise tag on Robinson once again on March 8, 2022, before finally agreeing to a three-year contract extension worth $54 million on April 27, 2022.

How did the Jacksonville Jaguars perform in 2022?

The Jacksonville Jaguars started the 2022 NFL season with minimal expectations, as they were fresh off back-to-back number-one picks in the 2021 and 2022 NFL drafts. Hence, nobody would have faulted the team if they missed the Playoffs for the umpteenth time.

Little did they know that the Jaguars would seriously flip the switch. The Jaguars made the 2022 postseason on the back of a 9-8 winning record to close out the season. They pulled off wins against the likes of the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Jets to secure their playoff berth as the AFC South champions.

The Jaguars faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wildcard Round in a game featuring one of the wildest comebacks you'd ever see. They won that game 31-30 and faced off against the eventual Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. They fell to the Chiefs 27-20 and thus ended the fairytale 2022 run. The Jaguars will look to go one or even two steps further next season.
