Little has started in 4 games this season for the Jaguars.
Hours before their NFL Week 13 clash against the Houston Texans, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced the contract extension of their starting left tackle Walker Little. The 25-year-old has signed a three-year, $45 million extension with $26 million guaranteed. This deal keeps Little in Jacksonville through the 2027 season.
“Walker is a homegrown talent who has grown up in our system,” General Manager Trent Baalke said in a press release.
“Time and time again, Walker stepped in when needed, and stepped up his game at the tackle position. This is a great opportunity for a young player that we see every day on the practice field, who we believe will be playing his best football in the coming years.”
Little was selected 45th overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Over his four-year career, he has appeared in 51 games, making 21 starts. In 2024, the 25-year-old has been a bright spot on a struggling team, starting in 4 games out of 11 he has played.
