With Trevor Lawrence's looming extension hanging in the balance, one former quarterback doesn't think either side should be rushing to the negotiation table.
As the news has come out that the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to close a long-term extension with Trevor Lawrence, many have voiced their opinions on whether or not the former No.1 overall selection is deserving of such a massive deal.
In many ways, Dan Orlovsky is right. Lawrence has had several stints of greatness but has yet to put a full season of elite play together. His back half of 2022 and front half of 2023, pieced together were as good of quarterback play as Jacksonville has ever seen, however, numerous injuries to Lawrence ultimately brought his 2023 season to a disappointing finish.
“If they decided to pay Trevor today what the Lions have paid Jared Goff, this is a we believe in what you are going to become thing way more than we are paying you for what you’ve done,” added Orlovsky While last season’s statistics were a bit of a let down after a strong finish to 2022 for Lawrence, his level of play stayed nearly the same. Through the first 13 weeks of the season, Lawrence was 9th in quarterback EPA and 5th in success rate. Following injury, his NFL passer rating fell nearly 20 points as he threw 7 interceptions in his final four games of play.
