OTC has Brown's official contract value at $31.8 million over three years. This includes $20.75 million being fully guaranteed, $11 million of which is in the form of a signing bonus.
Also of note, the Jaguars utilized two void years to help lower Brown's cap hit in the present.
Void years are not an extension, but rather a bookkeeping measure that puts more years on the contract on paper. Brown is still set to be a free agent in 2029, at which point the cap charges from the void years, which total $4.4 million, will accelerate and come due as dead cap.

Retaining Brown solidifies the starting cornerback unit for the Jaguars. Brown showcased last season his ability to be a full-time starter who can make plays on the perimeter.
Having Brown back in the fold now provides the Jaguars with flexibility going into the NFL draft. No longer is addressing cornerback a must right away.
