Walker has become a really good pro. The comparison between him and Hutchinson at 1 and 2 will always cloud the conversation but he’s more than deserving of this deal. https://t.co/iZRzHQzhNT

Leap of faith in Travon Walker for #Jaguars management.

They must believe he's the pass rusher he was in 2023-24, not last year
They must believe his good run of bad injury luck in 2025 isn't start of pattern
They must believe he'll remain a stout run defender

110M ain’t bad, Odefe Oweh got 4/110M and hasn’t had multiple 10+ sacks seasons like Travon Walker

So glad he’s staying!!!

Worth every penny https://t.co/YN6Fw7Yz9J

For the stat sheet watchers at home: #Jaguars DE Travon Walker dealt with two diff injuries last year (wrist/knee). Only fully healthy for the first 3 weeks.

The dip in sacks can be explained, and the Jaguars never seemed concerned. I asked Gladstone about it at end of season

completely convinced that Travon deserved the money.

every single member of the #Jaguars brass firmly believes Travon is a freak athlete who wrecks every game, regardless of the sack number. good for him. https://t.co/t3gzK7mnx8
