Who is Mac Jones, the starting QB for the Jaguars against the Titans? Career stats, salary, contract...
Mac Jones is currently the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, stepping in after Trevor Lawrence’s injury.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, struggling with a 2-10 record, are facing a difficult season as their starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, will miss their next game against the Titans due to injury.
Lawrence, who has been a cornerstone for the Jaguars since being drafted first overall in 2021, suffered a severe concussion and an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder during a game against the Houston Texans. This injury has sidelined him for the remainder of the season, leaving a significant void in the Jaguars’ offense.
Mac Jones steps up for the Jaguars amid Trevor Lawrence’s injury
Mac Jones has stepped up as the starting quarterback for the Jaguars. Jones, who was traded from the New England Patriots to the Jaguars in the spring of 2024, has had a tumultuous journey in the NFL. His rookie contract, a four-year deal worth $15,586,352, was fully guaranteed and included a substantial signing bonus of $8,695,528. Despite the initial promise he showed with the Patriots, the Jaguars decided not to pick up his fifth-year option, making him a free agent in 2025.
Jones’ transition to the Jaguars has been marked by both challenges and opportunities. With Lawrence out, Jones has been thrust into the spotlight. His performance has been under scrutiny.
With Lawrence’s injury, Jones now has the chance to prove his worth and potentially secure a longer-term role with the team. His current contract, which runs through the 2024 season, offers him a base salary of $2,785,412 for this year. This period is crucial for Jones as he aims to showcase his skills and leadership on the field.
