Trevor Lawrence just got PAID!

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence signed a mammoth five-year, $275 million contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a Thursday report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The extension features a whopping $200 million in guaranteed money, with $142 million being delivered to Lawrence at the time of signing, according to ESPN’s sources. Lawrence’s signing bonus is worth a total of $37.5 million, per the four-letter network.

Lawrence‘s average salary will be $55 million, tying him for the NFL’s highest paid player with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

The former Clemson Tiger is now the fifth QB in the NFL to have a salary over $50 million. The other QBs are: Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff ($53 million), Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert ($52.5 million), Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson ($52 million) and Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts ($51 million).

Holy hell, this man got paid.

$142 million handed to him at signing? A $37.5 million signing bonus?

I mean, damn, this dude nearly got $200 million alone from just signing the contract. That’s insane to me. And I thought I got paid from my U.S. Open first round bets … (which I did, by the way, it was friggin’ gorgeous) (RELATED: Cleveland Browns Just Gave Themselves Some Terrible Juju For The New Season After Outright Prick Move Against Grandma)

But congratulations to Trevor Lawrence though! I’m always happy to see somebody land the bag! A fellow Florida man is no different!

By the way, here’s a video I found of a chick that looks exactly like Trevor Lawrence … ish is trippin’ me out.

Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
