The Jacksonville Jaguars extend a defensive lineman
The Jacksonville Jaguars are keeping a vital piece of the defense for next season. The Jaguars are looking to build on their success in 2022. The team was a score from tying the eventual Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round. The Jaguars’ defense, which ranked 12th in points given up in the last regular season, was a big reason for the team’s late run from Week 12–getting them into the postseason.
The Jaguars retained a starting defensive lineman from that group. According to Mike Garafolo with the NFL Network, the Jaguars extended Roy-Robertson Harris for seasons. The deal is worth $30 million.

Harris started in all 19 games for the Jaguars in the regular and postseason. He recorded three sacks and 45 total tackles in the regular season. Harris added another sack and 14 total tackles to his postseason numbers. The undrafted free agent was initially signed by the Chicago Bears in 2017. He came over to the Jaguars as a free agent in 2021, where he has been substantial help to the defense.
