Here are the players the Jaguars have re-signed in 2022’s free agency.

Brandon Scherff, OG – After getting tagged the previous two seasons, offensive guard Brandon Scherff hit the open market and went on to sign a three-year deal worth $49.5 million with $30 million guaranteed. The fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft has made the Pro Bowl six times and earned a First-Team All-Pro selection in 2020.

Christian Kirk, WR – Christian Kirk got one of the richest contracts in this year’s free agency. The Jags gave him a four-year deal that can be worth up to $84 million. He is set to start in the slot, where he’s shown he’s the most effective.

Zay Jones, WR – Christian Kirk wasn’t the only got receiver that got a top-market contract from the Jaguars. Zay Jones inked a three-year deal worth $24 million with $14 million guaranteed. He’s got the ability to stretch the field but he might need to compete for a starting job this offseason.

Evan Engram, TE – A former first-round pick, Evan Engram was the top tight end available in this year’s free agency and the Jaguars made an aggressive effort to land him. They gave him a $9 year deal with a max value of $10 million. Engram will start alongside Dan Arnold but the former should get a bigger workload.

Folorunso Fatukasi, DT – The Jaguars gave defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi a three-year deal worth $30 million. He will be part of the team’s defensive line rotation and should give their run defense a meaningful boost.

Foyesade Oluokun, LB – After spending four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, linebacker Foyesade Oluokun signed a three-year, $45 million deal that can be worth up to $46.5 million

Darious Williams, CB – In the twilight of the legal tampering period, the Jaguars signed cornerback Darious Williams to a three-year deal worth $30 million with a max value of $39 million. He will likely handle slot duties with Shaquill Griffin and Tyson Campbell lining up out wide.
