Overview
- The agreement includes $32.5 million guaranteed and up to $55.5 million with incentives, per multiple reports.
- Van Lanen has taken over as the Jaguars’ starting left tackle after a 2025 breakout, supplanting Walker Little late in the season.
- His versatility has been central to Jacksonville’s plans, with starts at left tackle, left guard, right guard, and right tackle this year.
- By average annual value and guarantees, the deal places him in the mid-tier for NFL tackles, according to Spotrac.
- The extension avoids a projected franchise tag near $27 million, keeps him under contract through 2028, and preserves the tag for other roster decisions.
