Jacksonville Jaguars and Parker Washington discuss contract extension before season start
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Parker Washington are currently engaged in negotiations regarding a contract extension. Washington enters the final year of his rookie deal and is set to reach free agency during the 2027 offseason. Reports indicate that Washington prefers to finalize an agreement before the team begins regular season play, while the organization has expressed comfort in continuing discussions into the season if necessary. The wide receiver saw increased usage late last year, recording more than 100 receiving yards in three of the final four games including the postseason. General manager James Gladstone confirmed the team is open to conducting contract talks during the regular season, a practice established with other players on the roster last year. The potential extension is being viewed by some as comparable to the recent three-year, $75 million deal signed by Michael Wilson.
