Travis Hunter gets his full $30.57 million signing bonus up front

Regarding recruit contracts, there is not much to negotiate. On one of the few negotiable articles, the receiver of the defensive jaguars / rear Travis Hunter has succeeded very well.

Adam Schefter d’Espn.com reports that Hunter will receive Its full bonus of $ 30.57 million in advance. He is the first non-quarter not taken first to obtain the complete signature bonus in advance.

Often, the teams run out of payments. Sometimes part of the money is not paid for almost a year. There is real value to get money immediately. It can be put to work, gaining interest while Hunter does nothing.

This is the least that the jaguars can do for a player who savor the opportunity to have overtime. His contract will not pay him more to play in both directions; Total money is motivated only by the position in which it was written.

When it is time for the jaguars to take the Hunter fifth year option, he will be motivated by the position where he takes the most shots. Ditto for the franchise tag.

It is only in his second contract that Hunter will have a chance to be paid to play the two positions. He will not be eligible for this before the end of his third regular season.

This is when it will become interesting. After the regular season of 2027. Hunter, if he plays in both directions full -time, will have the right to be paid for his two jobs.

The issues will be raised, for both sides. The jaguars fortunately abandoned their choice of first round in 2026 and more to exchange three places in the first round because they obtained two players in one – as confirmed by their social announcement with two parts. At one point, they will have to deviate from a collective agreement which does not plan to pay additional money to a player who plays in both directions.
