Anton Harrison: Everything you need to know

The Jaguars picked up the fifth-year option connected to Harrison's rookie contract Monday. Harrison has been a consistent presence at left tackle for three years, and another year of salary regulation for a key player protecting quarterback Trevor Lawrence makes a lot of sense. The 24-year-old is set to make $4.199 million in 2026 before his fifth-year option grants him $19.072 million in 2027. If Harrison's consistency remains, the Jaguars likely will pay him for future years beyond the confines of his rookie deal.

Jacksonville GM James Gladstone said Monday that the team will pick up the fifth-year option of Harrison's rookie deal, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports. Harrison has been more than reliable at LT for the Jaguars since joining the team as the No. 27 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He remains under contract with Jacksonville through 2027 and projects to continue starting at LT for that span.

Harrison (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Harrison popped up on Sunday's injury report due to an illness. The third-year pro has been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups and will start at right tackle.
