The Jacksonville Jaguars have secured tight end Hunter Long on a two-year deal worth $5 million, with potential earnings rising to $6.5 million through incentives. For the 2025 season, Long's salary cap hit will be approximately $2.125 million, composed of a base salary of $1.25 million and a prorated signing bonus. In 2026, his cap hit will increase to about $2.875 million as his base salary rises to $2 million.

Transitioning from the Los Angeles Rams, Long should adapt well to the Jaguars' offense under Liam Coen, sharing similar schemes. His experience as a blocker will be invaluable, aligning with Coen's offensive strategy, while the team's GM has also expressed optimism regarding Long's potential as a pass catcher.
