Jacksonville Jaguars EDGE rusher Travon Walker had a solid fourth season, helping the run defense allow the fewest rushing yards, though he tied for the lowest sack total of his career and battled two separate injuries. He recorded 43 tackles, eight TFLs, 44 pressures, 14 quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks, and a 9.4% run stop rate, which ranked ninth among EDGE rushers across 15 games and 13 starts. Walker missed time due to a wrist injury that required surgery and a knee injury.
He enters the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to earn a fully guaranteed $15.196 million salary in 2026 after the Jaguars exercised his 5th-year option last May. There were reports last offseason that the front office held contract talks with his agents, but ultimately, no deal was made.
