Jacksonville Jaguars take risk, don’t pick up option on Kelvin Beachum

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a few active moves on Wednesday by signing Abry Jones, Arrelious Benn, and Chad Henne to contracts, but their biggest move might have been one they didn’t make.

This is a bit of a surprise, mostly because the option would have locked Beachum up at a very reasonable price for a starting left tackle.

Had the Jaguars exercised Beachum’s option, it would have triggered $18 million in guaranteed money – a $5 million option bonus, $7.5 million in salary this year and $5.5 million in 2018 salary.
