On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> announced they had signed No. 1 overall pick Travis Hunter to his rookie contract. The Jaguars made Hunter the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft after a stellar career at the University of Colorado, where he was a star at wide receiver and cornerback.<\/p>\n

Hunter and the Jaguars agreed on a four-year, $46.65 million fully guaranteed contract. His $30.57 million signing bonus was paid entirely up front. This has never been done before with a non-quarterback and sets a very unique precedent. This was likely the reason for the holdup on getting Hunter signed and from his side, it was a necessity given that he has an opportunity to start on both sides of the football.<\/p>\n

Hunter’s signing leaves only the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>‘ Shemar Stewart as the final unsigned first-round pick. Stewart continues to hold out as the Bengals are looking to set a new precedent with their contract wording for top picks and Stewart doesn’t want to be the guy who signs first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced they had signed No. 1 overall pick Travis Hunter to his rookie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[247,265,228,1392,227,256,564,19,7,123,212,125,213,248,267,88,6,15,152,245,537,530,9,266,2015,128,381,4234],"class_list":{"0":"post-152983","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-american","9":"tag-american-football","10":"tag-bengals","11":"tag-boulder","12":"tag-cincinnati","13":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","14":"tag-colorado","15":"tag-draft","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-hunter","18":"tag-jacksonville","19":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","20":"tag-jaguars","21":"tag-national","22":"tag-national-sports","23":"tag-news","24":"tag-nfl","25":"tag-nfl-draft","26":"tag-of","27":"tag-overall","28":"tag-overall-positive","29":"tag-positive","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-sports-news","32":"tag-travis","33":"tag-travis-hunter","34":"tag-university","35":"tag-university-of-colorado-boulder"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114734397283707366","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
