Jacksonville Jaguars Looking To Sign Tight End Long Term This Off-Season

The Jacksonville Jaguars took a massive step forward in 2022/23, and with the addition of Calvin Ridley alongside the stacked offence and young superstar Quarterback, this is no doubt a team that will be Super Bowl contenders in the AFC going forward.

One weapon that helped their breakout season immensely was tight end Evan Engram, and after a career year, the team brought him back on the franchise tag, but on Thursday, GM Trent Baalke reiterated that the team would love to get him back on a long-term deal before training camp begins.

#Jaguars GM Trent Baalke told reporters the goal is to get an extension done with franchised TE Evan Engram before training camp.

"We're trending in that direction but we're not there yet."

Given Engram's recent comments about his love for this team and how he'd like to stay long-term, it appears both sides are working towards a deal, and it would be a major shock to not see a deal done in the coming weeks.
