Travis Etienne free agent contract projection

According to Spotrac , Etienne is projected to earn a two-year, $13.62 million deal in free agency. That's good for an average annual value of $6.8 million per season, which would rank as the 18th highest in 2026.

Pro Football Focus , meanwhile, has Etienne earning a three-year deal worth $34.5 million in total, which is very different from the contract above.

In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Najee Harris, Tony Pollard, and Javonte Williams were used by Spotrac as comparisons to determine what Etienne's deal could be.

Will the Jaguars re-sign Travis Etienne?

This is a difficult one to gauge.

On one hand, the Jaguars just drafted Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen last offseason in preparation for Etienne hitting free agency.

In addition to that, while it can be improved, the Jaguars aren't in a great salary cap situation at the moment.

But with that said, Etienne was highly productive, putting together another 1,000-yard rushing season, even when the blocking in front of him struggled to create steady running lanes down the stretch.

He's also a terrific fit for Liam Coen's offense with his ability to move around and operate in space.

And perhaps if Etienne's next deal is in the ballpark of what Spotrac is projecting, the Jaguars can make that work. That projection isn't a contract that is going to break the bank.

Ultimately, my prediction is that Etienne signs elsewhere. The leading factor behind that is due to the Jaguars having Tuten and Allen on the roster.
