The base value is $141.25 million, which translates to an average value of $28.25 million.
The deal pays $35 million in year one, $33 million in 2025, $23 million in 2026, $24.75 million in 2027, and $25.5 million in 2028. The Jaguars could decide to keep Allen for Five full years of the contract.
The deal pays $76.5 million fully guaranteed at signing. The other $11.5 million becomes fully guaranteed in March 2026.
The deal is worth up to $150 million ($30 million annually) only if Allen has 17.5 or more sacks each year and if he reaches the Pro Bowl or is named a first-team All-Pro in each season.
It's very similar to the contract the Giants gave pass rusher Brian Burns. The base APY narrowly exceeds Burns, at $28.2 million. However, his incentives are a bit higher at $1.8 million per year — and he gets there simply by getting 12.5 sacks, making the Pro Bowl, or being named an All-Pro.
