The Jacksonville Jaguars have secured cornerback Montaric Brown with a three-year, $33 million contract extension. The 26-year-old defender led the team in pass breakups last season and ranked among the NFL’s top cornerbacks in coverage.
Jacksonville has reached an agreement with cornerback Montaric Brown on a lucrative three-year extension worth $33 million, the team announced Monday.
The 26-year-old defensive back was originally selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft and was scheduled to become a free agent before finalizing this new contract. Representatives from Milk & Honey Sports, who represent Brown, confirmed the agreement to ESPN.
During the previous season, Brown emerged as a key defensive contributor for Jacksonville, recording a team-high 12 pass breakups while hauling in two interceptions across 15 appearances, including 12 as a starter. He also contributed 51 tackles to the team’s defensive effort.
Brown’s performance in pass coverage was particularly impressive, as his 69.6 passer rating allowed ranked sixth-best among all NFL cornerbacks who played at least 200 coverage snaps, according to ESPN’s Next Gen Stats.
Throughout his professional career spanning 52 games with 29 starts, Brown has accumulated three interceptions, 24 pass deflections, and 166 total tackles.
