Travis Hunter remains unsigned, Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie contract still in progress
Travis Hunter remains unsigned, Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie contract still in progress From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: The buzz is real for the #Jaguars and WR/CB Travis Hunter... though his rookie contract may be among the last signed. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 11, 2025 Jacksonville Jaguars rookie and former Colorado star Travis Hunter has yet to sign his rookie contract with the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. After being selected No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL draft, the rookie two-way player is still in negotiations with the Jaguars on his rookie deal. Rapoport reported that the prolonged dialogue between he two sides should not cause Hunter to hold out. Hunter has been practicing with the team during both OTAs and this past week's mandatory minicamp. "I don't expect a holdout," Rapoport reported. "We rarely, rarely, rarely see a holdout, but I do think this will take some time. If you're talking about Jaguars fans, you're talking about Jaguars people, I don't think they have anything to worry about ause he's almost certaintly going to be participating in training camp. You'd think they will figure out a way to get it done by then." Hunter is projected to sign a four-year contract worth approximately $46 million with a signing bonus upwards of $30 million, according to Spotrac. Rapoport also said he "feels" Hunter will be the final first-rounder to sign his contract. Hunter has been impressing during practices this spring, shining at both wide receiver and cornerback. He and quarterback Travor Lawrence have been forming a strong connection during workouts this spring. In his final season at Colorado, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy while racking up a Big 12-leading 96 receptions for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns, leading to the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver in college football. On defense, Hunter racked up 36 tackles, 11 pass breakups, four interceptions, one tackle for loss, and a forced fumble. No matter when Hunter inks his first professional contract, the two-way superstar should be must-see television during his rookie year in Jacksonville.
