As Trevor Lawrence heads into his fourth year in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars star quarterback said he’s had preliminary talks with the organization about a potential extension. 

However, Lawrence isn’t losing any sleep over it. 

"There’s definitely been some conversations," he said Tuesday, via ESPN. "As far as where that's at now, it's not really my focus. I'd love to obviously be a Jag for as long as possible. We love it here, and I love where we're headed as an organization.

"My best ball’s definitely ahead of me."

There is technically no rush for the Jaguars, as Lawrence can be under contract this season and in 2025, where they have a fifth-year option to exercise. They have until May 2 to exercise that option, which would pay him $25.664 million fully guaranteed for the 2025 campaign. 

But Lawrence is allowed to sign an extension if he and the Jags find common ground. And given the state of quarterback contracts recently, Lawrence would obviously love to cash in.
