Jaguars and pass rusher Josh Allen have a starting point for pending contract negotiations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:15:34 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars and pass rusher Josh Allen have a starting point for contract negotiations.With Montez Sweat signing a four-year, $98 million extension with the Chicago Bears last week, that deal should provide a baseline — maybe even a blueprint — for Allen and the Jaguars moving forward.Allen ranks fifth in the NFL with nine sacks through eight games, putting up career numbers in a contract year. He’s been one of the many bright spots for the streaking Jaguars (6-2) through the first half of the season.Although some would argue that making Allen one of the NFL’s highest-paid edge rushers is risky considering he had 17 sacks over his previous three seasons, Jacksonville can’t afford to let him go.Not only has Allen been the team’s top defender in back-to-back years, signing draft picks to second contracts has been one of the small-market franchise’s biggest front-office failures over the past decade.Only 10 of the 76 draft picks betwee...

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — The father of a man charged in a deadly Fourth of July parade shooting in suburban Chicago pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanors Monday in a case that centered on how his son obtained a gun license.Robert Crimo Jr. entered the plea as his trial was about to start in Lake County court, in Waukegan, Illinois. He was immediately sentenced by Judge George Strickland to 60 days in jail, starting next week, and 100 hours of community service.Crimo Jr. had been charged with seven felony counts of reckless conduct — one for each person his son, Robert Crimo III, is accused of killing in Highland Park on Independence Day last year.

His father sponsored his application, even though just months earlier a relative reported to police that Crimo III had a collection of knives and had threatened to “kill everyone.”State’s Attorney...
