Jacksonville Jaguars’ cornerback Greg Newsome is set to be a free agent this upcoming offseason.

So what might his next contract look like, and will the Jaguars re-sign him?

Greg Newsome free agent contract projection

According to Spotrac, Newsome is projected to earn a three-year deal as a free agent worth $27.06 million. That’s good for an average annual value of just over $9.0 million per season.

In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Keisean Nixon, Michael Carter II, and Jourdan Lewis were used by Spotrac as comparisons to determine what Newsome’s deal could be.

The trade for Newsome, which included Tyson Campbell going to Cleveland, provided the Jaguars with some added salary cap flexibility this offseason by moving on from Campbell’s contract.

Newsome joined the Jaguars with very good ball production in his career and as someone who was thought to fit well with Anthony Campanile’s zone-heavy defense.

However, the results in Jacksonville were mixed. Newsome allowed a completion rate of almost 70% with the Jaguars and 11.7 yards per catch. He had just one pass breakup and one interception.

On one hand, addressing the cornerback position should be one of the top needs for the Jaguars this offseason. Perhaps with a full offseason in Campanile’s scheme rather than learning it mid-season on the fly, the Jaguars could get more out of Newsome moving forward.

But with that said, Travis Hunter will be back from injury, and if I’m the Jaguars, I’m prioritizing re-signing Montaric Brown over Newsome, especially at potentially $9 million per year.
