The Jaguars made things official for Lawrence and Etienne on
A few days after general manager Trent Baalke made it clear the Jacksonville Jaguars would exercise the fifth-year options for both Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne, the Jaguars made things official with the 2021 first round picks and former Clemson teammates and picked up each option on Monday.
After making it through his first two seasons with minimal injury scares, Lawrence was legitimately walking wounded for much of 2023. Lawrence sustained four different injuries this fall that forced him to miss valuable practice time and play in several games with injuries: a knee injury in Week 6, an ankle injury in Week 13, a concussion in Week 15, and then finally a shoulder injury in Week 16 that forced him to miss his first-career start.
Etienne, the No. 25 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, earned a vote for Offensive Player of the Year for the first time in his career after proving to be a key cog in the Jaguars' offense in 2023. The offense didn't meet most expectations, but Etienne arguably had a more impactful season than in 2022, leading the league in missed tackles forced and improving as a receiving threat out of the backfield.
