Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen earns a raise in opener but will have to wait to cash in
Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen essentially earned a pay raise Sunday. The seventh overall pick in the 2019 draft had three sacks in Jacksonville’s season opener at Indianapolis — two of them because he chased Colts rookie Anthony Richardson out of bounds — and gave himself early leverage in future contract negotiations. Allen is in the final year of his rookie deal, playing on a fifth-year option that guarantees him $10.9 million in 2023.
