The Jaguars placed the franchise tag on the veteran tight end Monday, guaranteeing him a one-year, $11.345 million contract in 2023.
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Bryce Callahan hits Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram during the second half of an NFL wild-card football game, Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023, in Jacksonville, Fla. – Evan Engram will be back in Jacksonville for another season, probably longer if the Jaguars get their way.
General manager Trent Baalke and coach Doug Pederson reiterated their stance at the NFL combine last week, saying they wanted and expected Engram back. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence took to social media last month to campaign for Engram's return. “This is where I want to be and where I want to continue my career and be a part of what’s being built here for sure,” Engram said after Jacksonville's season end with a playoff loss at Kansas City.
