The Jacksonville Jaguars have secured the services of offensive lineman Patrick Mekari, signing him to a three-year, $37.5 million contract. Mekari is a versatile player, having experience at all five offensive line positions, but the Jaguars plan to utilize him primarily at right guard. This move aims to enhance the team's run game and protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is poised to lead the team in the upcoming season.

Mekari's journey has been defined by adaptability, maintaining his stature in the league after going undrafted in 2019. His ability to fill multiple roles on the offensive line has been a key asset, providing the Jaguars with depth and flexibility as they prepare for a competitive season. The franchise hopes Mekari's addition will solidify their offensive front and contribute significantly to their offensive strategy.
