Prior to rookie minicamp, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to contract terms with sixth-round draft pick, Syracuse running back LeQuint Allen. Over the Cap now has those contract details.
When it comes to rookie deals, the rookie wage scale sets the parameters, based on where the player was drafted, that puts in place a ceiling and a floor for how much each draft pick can earn over their standard four-year contract.
For a more detailed look at the rookie wage scale, click here.
For Allen, who was the 236th overall pick, his total contract value over the four-year deal is $4.318 million and includes $118,756 guaranteed as a signing bonus.
From a cap perspective, that signing bonus amount will be prorated over the four years of the contract, in the form of a $29,689 cap hit each year.
In Year 1, Allen will earn a base salary of $840,000. In Year 2, it increases to $1.005 million, followed by $1.120 million in Year 3, and $1.235 million in Year 4.
During each of the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Allen surpassed 1,000 rushing yards. He's also been a big part of the Syracuse passing game, which includes 78 targets during this past season alone. That ability at the running back position is an important element within Liam Coen's offense.
In what is currently a crowded running back room that also includes Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby, and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen's role as a rookie may be fairly small as the fourth running back option, a role that Keilan Robinson will be competing for as well.
"Then you look at Allen, kind of an interesting player," said Liam Coen, via Jaguars on SI. "Can play a little bit of slot. Move him into the back field. Obviously, he had 1,000 yards over the last two years, and then he can catch the ball out of the back field. Good in the screen game.
"Competitor, man. This guy loves to play, loves to compete. Made some critical plays in some critical moments for Syracuse this past year on a team that was really good again."
