JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Jaguars are using the franchise brand on left tackle Cam Robinson, coach Urban Meyer confirmed on Tuesday.
“[Offensive line coach] George Warhop feels very determined about his future and development, “said Meyer.” We know that he has a great future. Its roof is very high. I studied it a lot. I spent some time with him. We feel that the way this free agency is moving is that position of left striker – as always, but maybe more now this year, I’m hearing from the guys who were in the NFL – this is a difficult year for what’s left we face the position and we feel what is out there and with training, culture and development, Cam has a lot of talent. “
If Robinson signs the bid, he will receive $ 14.507 million in 2021, which is the average salary for the five highest-paid NFL attackers. Robinson won $ 1,422 million in 2020, which was the last year of his rookie contract.
Meyer said he believed there was a good chance that the Jaguars would sign a new contract with Robinson sometime during the off-season. “Our intention is that Cam Robinson will play for the Jaguars for a while,” he said.
Robinson started all 47 games in which he played since the Jaguars climbed him to 34th position in 2017. According to ESPN statistics and information, his 79.9% pass block victory rate is in 75th place among all NFL tackles 2017-20.
Robinson started 15 games as a rookie and helped run Leonard Fournette to run 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns, making Fournette only the third rookie in the franchise’s history to pass 1,000 yards (Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew were the others). The Jaguars led the NFL in the race that season for the first time in the franchise’s history, as well as giving up on a 24-sack franchise.
Robinson suffered a left ACL injury in the second game of the 2018 season. He returned to the roster in week 3 of the 2019 season and started 14 games and posted an 82% career best pass blocking win rate, which he ranked 57 between tackles. He also won the Ed Block Courage award, which is voted on by players and awarded to the player who demonstrates courage and inspiration throughout the season.
Robinson started all 16 games for the Jaguars in 2020, but in one year on contract, his 79.7% pass block victory rate ranked 59th among tackles.
