Jaguars ink Hamilton to reported 3-year, $34.5M extension

The Jacksonville Jaguars and defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton agreed to a long-term contract extension, the team announced Thursday.

It's a three-year, $34.5-million extension that includes $23 million fully guaranteed, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Hamilton's new deal can reach $36 million with incentives, Rapoport adds. He'll earn over $18.7 million in the first year of his extension.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a career year in 2022, setting new personal highs in starts (14), tackles (56), sacks (2.5), and tackles for a loss (five).

A third-round selection in 2020, Hamilton started six games in his rookie season and eight games in his second year before breaking out in 2022.

Jacksonville's defense ranked 12th in points allowed last season.
