Andrew Norwell has reworked his deal. ESPN’s Field Yates reports (via Twitter) that the Jaguars agreed to a renegotiated contracts with the offensive lineman.
Previously, Norwell was on the books for $11.5MM in non-guaranteed money next season. Now, the offensive guard will earn $9MM guaranteed, and he has an additional $2.5M in realistic incentives. The 28-year-old gets the security he’s presumably seeking, while the Jaguars have the opportunity to save a chunk of cash.
Norwell joined Jacksonville back in 2018, signing a five-year, $66.5MM contract ($30MM guaranteed). His $13.3MM average annual value currently ranks fifth among offensive guards, although he led the position when he initially signed his contract.
The veteran was limited to 11 games in 2018 as he dealt with an ankle injury. He returned fully healthy in 2019 and managed to start all 16 games for the Jaguars.
Thanks for keeping a guard and not Ramsey.
Totally hear ya…. but I think Jags had to do that considering (2 1sts and a 4th)
They needed a little rebuild and I love the Chassion pick so far for them-
They also had bad cap problems the last couple years and will soon be super flush in money (next year) – Turning Jalen for 2 1sts certainly helped that and will continue to help the org the next 5 years far greater than Jalen
How is it that nobody has offered this guy a role in a “Lord of the Rings” type movie? He looks like he would be a natural for something like that.
Ramsey didn’t want to stay in Jacksonville
