The Jacksonville Jaguars now have just one player from their 2025 draft class who remains unsigned.
With Travis Hunter and Bhayshul Tuten each signing their rookie contracts over the last few days, linebacker Jack Kiser is now the final Jacksonville Jaguars draft pick who remains unsigned, according to Spotrac.
Kiser was the 107th overall pick and the fifth player taken in the fourth round. He is now the final member of the fourth round that is still unsigned, with Tuten being the second to last.
With the rookie wage scale setting the parameters for how much a player can earn on their first contract, there isn’t much room for negotiating. However, there is some wiggle room in how much of the deal is guaranteed. My guess is that with Tuten going a few picks before Kiser and his deal now done, that will help provide the framework for what Kiser’s contract will look like.
Over the Cap projects that Kiser’s contract will be worth $5.25 million in total and include a $1.05 million signing bonus.
Kiser played six seasons at Notre Dame, which included starting and being a team captain in 2024. Over his career, he had been an extremely reliable tackler, and this past year, Kiser ranked 15th among linebackers in PFF’s run defense grade and had the 10th most tackles in the run game.
That tackling ability helped Kiser in coverage by limiting YAC opportunities as well.
Kiser also comes to the NFL with a ton of special teams experience, playing just shy of 1,000 snaps while at Notre Dame. He will be an immediate contributor in that phase with the Jaguars and do so across multiple units.
