You have probably heard that deadlines spur action, but the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't want to wait until free agency to start re-signing their own players. Having taken care of wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in December, general manager James Gladstone turned his attention to ascending offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen.
Ahead of the season finale against theTennessee Titans, the Jags signed Van Lanen to a three-year extension worth $51 million with $34 million in guarantees. The deal is well-deserved when you take into account that the Green Bay, Wisconsin native is having a banner season.
