How does Brenton Strange’s new contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars compare to the rest of the tight ends around the NFL?
Well, it depends on how you look at it.
According to Tom Pelissero, Strange is signing a three-year extension worth up to $48 million and includes $25 million guaranteed.
In terms of potential total value, Strange is earning $16 million per year on the extension, which ranks as the fifth-most among tight ends, according to Spotrac.
By guaranteed money, Strange’s $25 million ranks 10th. In terms of total contract value at $48 million, Strange is now the eighth-highest-paid tight end.
However, Ari Meirov reported that Strange’s deal has a base value of $36 million with the other $12 million tied to incentives.
By that $36 million figure, Strange ranks tied for 12th in average annual value.
However, you look at it, given the do-it-all presence that Strange brings to the Jaguars offense, which opens up the playbook for Liam Coen and creates opportunities for others, we gave this extension a strong grade.
