The Jacksonville Jaguars have reached an agreement to retain cornerback Montaric “Buster” Brown on a three-year contract extension worth $33 million, according to Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Brown, who was originally a seventh-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, was widely expected to have a strong market in free agency. Despite the potential for outside interest, Brown reportedly expressed a desire to remain with the organization that drafted him. The deal was negotiated by his agency, Milk & Honey.
The cornerback has seen his role steadily increase within the Jaguars' defense over the past two seasons. By securing this extension now, Jacksonville prevents one of their key secondary contributors from reaching the open market where his value could have escalated further. Brown's transition from a late-round draft pick to a multi-year starter has made him a vital component of the team's secondary depth.
This move highlights the Jaguars' commitment to retaining homegrown talent and rewarding developmental success stories. Brown's journey from the 222nd overall pick to a $33 million extension marks a significant milestone for both the player and the franchise.
