\nTrevor Lawrence<\/a>‘s Year 5 in the NFL will have plenty watching to see if he can live up to the No. 1 overall pick hype.<\/p>\n

He already received a big contract extension not long after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ last Playoff appearance, and after a disappointing and injury-plagued 2024 campaign, that $55 million annual price tag stands out now.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report assessed the most overpaid players by position in the league, where Lawrence sits at the top of the quarterbacks.<\/a><\/p>\n

“His 22-38 record as a starting quarterback is far from solely his fault\u2014the 25-year-old hasn’t exactly been put in the best position to succeed. Liam Coen will be his third head coach in five years, and Jacksonville’s offensive line is below average on a good day,” B\/R’s Gary Davenport writes. “But Lawrence has failed to hit even 15 touchdown passes in two of four professional campaigns and has averaged 11.5 interceptions per season.<\/p>\n

“The Jaguars and Lawrence are stuck with one another for at least a few more years. But if he struggles again in 2025, the grumbles about his viability as Jacksonville’s future under center are only going to get louder.”<\/p>\n

According to Spotrac,<\/a> Lawrence is tied for the second-highest average annual QB salary, trailing Dallas’ Dak Prescott ($60M).<\/p>\n

After receiving $230 million guaranteed in 2022, fellow Clemson pro Deshaun Watson<\/a>‘s average salary is at $46 million for a Cleveland Browns run that appears to be all but over after 19 touchdown passes and 12 picks in 19 games. He suffered a second Achilles tear in a matter of months back in December.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
