Report: Jaguars give linebacker Paul Posluszny extension

The Jaguars have extended middle linebacker Paul Posluszny's contract for one year, according to FOX Sports' Alex Marvez.

The extension would take Posluszny through the 2017 season. Posluszny signed a six-year, $45-million contract with the Jaguars in 2011 after playing his first four years with Buffalo.

The extension would likely bring Posluszny's salary-cap figure down, although the Jaguars already have ample space. His original contract called for a salary-cap figure of $9.5 million in 2015.

The 30-year-old Posluszny has started 99 games in his eight-year career, making 1,063 tackles with 12 sacks and 11 interceptions. He played in seven games last season before injuring his pectoral muscle.
