JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) --- Cornerback Montaric "Buster" Brown and the
Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract that
keeps him from hitting free agency, a person familiar with the negotiations
told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither side had made it
official.
A seventh-round draft pick in 2022, Brown started 29 games over four years in
Jacksonville and is coming off his best season. He finished with 51 tackles, 12
pass defenses and two interceptions in 2025 while making a seamless transition
to the team's zone-based scheme. He has 166 tackles, 24 pass defenses and three
INTs in his career.
Brown's return means the Jaguars will have the core of their secondary intact
for 2026, with fellow cornerbacks Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis, Jarrian Jones
and Christian Braswell under contract along with safeties Eric Murray, Antonio
Johnson and Caleb Ransaw.
Jacksonville ranked 11th in the NFL in total defense last season, including
sixth in average yards per play against the pass.
The Jaguars still have holes to fill on defense, with linebacker Devin Lloyd
expected to sign elsewhere in free agency. They also need a third pass rusher
and potentially someone to replace defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who is due
to count $19.4 million against the salary cap in 2026.
