Kelvin Beachum signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars. Unless he didn’t.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Jaguars’ previously agreed-to deal with the Steelers free agent is a one-year contract worth $4.5 million.
The deal includes a four-year option which could make it worth $40 million, which is an interesting way to build it considering he’s coming off a torn ACL.
It will be interesting to see how Beachum responds from his injury, and also what the Jaguars intend to do with him. They spent the second pick in the 2013 NFL Draft on Luke Joeckel, who now has some competition.
Beachum has some versatility, but the move definitely creates a more solid situation up front for a Jaguars offense that made tremendous strides last year.
