• Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Agrees to three-year extension

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Strange agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year extension with the Jaguars, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Strange's new contract with Jacksonville is reportedly worth up to $48 million, with $25 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old tight end is not only a capable pass catcher, but he's established himself as one of the league's best blocking TEs since joining the Jaguars in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Strange has spent spring practices lining up in multiple roles and seemingly building up for an expanded role in head coach Liam Coen's offense, which added a pair of rookie tight ends in the 2026 NFL Draft in Nate Boerkircher (second round) and Tanner Koziol (fifth round).

  Strange and the Jaguars have engaged in preliminary discussions about a contract extension, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

• Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Building early momentum

  Koziol has been a standout during the early portion of the Jaguars' offseason program, John Shipley of SI.com reports. Koziol, a rookie fifth-round pick, has generated more buzz during spring practices than second-rounder Nate Boerkircher. Tight ends coach Richard Angulo described Koziol as being "a little bit more polished as a pass catcher" and mentioned the rookie's "ball skills and his size and range," at 6-foot-6, 247 pounds. Brenton Strange remains entrenched as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end, and Boerkircher's blocking ability may give him an edge for the No. 2 role, but Koziol is making an early case for opportunities in Liam Coen's offense, which per Garry Smits of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union is expected to feature more multi-TE looks in 2026.

• Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Lining up in multiple roles

  06/12/2026 • By RotoWire

  Strange said Thursday after the Jaguars' final mandatory minicamp practice that his second year in head coach Liam Coen's system feels "a lot less chaotic" despite being asked to line up in "a lot more positions," Garry Smits of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reports. "It's just a lot of position changes for me," Strange said, "but I want that. It's a good responsibility to have." The 2023 second-round pick enters the final year of his rookie deal as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, despite the additions of rookies Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol to a crowded room that also includes veterans Hunter Long and Quintin Morris. Jacksonville's offense figures to lean heavily on multi-TE formations in 2026, but Strange's versatility will help him remain productive even if targets are spread around at the position. He posted a career-best 46-540-3 receiving line in just 12 regular-season games last year and remains one of the league's better blocking tight ends. Though he's eligible for an extension, Strange said his "mind's not on that at all" Thursday when asked about contract talks.

  02/07/2026 • By RotoWire

  Strange finished the 2025 season with 46 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns in 12 regular-season games.

In his expanded role, Strange set a career high in receiving yards and touchdowns (540 yards and three touchdowns) despite missing five games due to a hip injury that landed him on injured reserve. The 25-year-old will look to build on his career season entering 2026.
