It’s safe to say that if the Jacksonville Jaguars could do it all again, they would not have given quarterback Trevor Lawrence a massive contract extension worth over a quarter of a billion dollars during the offseason.
In June, the Jaguars gave Trevor Lawrence a lucrative five-year deal worth $275 million. The contract included a whopping $200 million in guaranteed money, which felt awfully generous for a quarterback who had yet to reach superstar status.
Sure enough, the contract already looks like a colossal mistake. The Jaguars have lost their first three games this season, and Lawrence’s inexplicable regression is a key reason behind it. He’s completing only 52.8 percent of pass attempts for 560 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
If the Jaguars can find a taker for Trevor Lawrence’s contract (and they should, assuming he’d restructure it), they would be wise to dump it as soon as possible. And there’s one team in the NFC that stands out as a logical landing spot for the 2021 first-overall pick.

That team would be the New York Giants, who also have a disastrous quarterback contract on their hands. Daniel Jones is in year two of a four-year, $160 million extension he signed last year, and his play has also regressed since putting pen to paper.

Trading for Trevor Lawrence now seems risky, considering his extension doesn’t kick in until 2026. But he still has a much higher upside than Jones, and an offensive guru head coach like Brian Daboll just might unlock the potential of Lawrence. The presence of rising star wideout Malik Nabers would help matters, too.
Why A Trevor Lawrence For Daniel Jones Swap Makes Sense
The trade proposal is a one-for-one swap: Lawrence to the Giants in exchange for Jones.
If you’re the Giants, you’re getting out of Jones’ burden of a contract and getting a quarterback with real-high upside. The goal is then to keep adding more weapons around a promising offensive nucleus of Lawrence, Nabers and Andrew Thomas.
For the Jaguars, the solution is simple. They’re getting out of T-Law’s extension before it kicks in, and they’d only be stuck with Jones for the remainder of the season. They can cut him in the offseason with minimal financial ramifications and draft a top quarterback prospect like Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Georgia’s Carson Beck or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 draft.
