More than a few quarterbacks with market-level contracts aren’t earning their money.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is among the highest-paid NFL quarterbacks, with a new-money average of $55 million per year. Since signing his contract after the 2023 season, Lawrence has not been performing among the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Last year, he missed seven games due to injury. In the 10 games he started in 2024, Lawrence had a passer rating of 85.2, with 11 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. This season, he has the third-worst rating among all qualifying quarterbacks at 70.3, with four touchdown passes, four interceptions, and an average gain of 5.94 yards per pass.
He also has thrown an interception in six straight games. That’s the longest active streak in the league.
