The Jaguars on Monday announced they had exercised fifth-year options on Lawrence and Etienne, options available because Lawrence and Etienne were Round 1 selections – No. 1 and 25, respectively – in the 2021 NFL draft. All NFL rookies drafted in the first round sign four-year contracts, with the team having an option for a fifth year.  Lawrence’s fifth-year option reportedly is $25.7 million, with Etienne’s reportedly $6.7 million.
