The Jacksonville Jaguars have secured a one-year contract extension for tight end Quintin Morris, valued at up to $3 million, just ahead of the new NFL league year beginning March 11. Morris, who was headed for unrestricted free agency, will remain with the Jaguars as the team looks to strengthen its depth at the tight end position.
Details Behind Quintin Morris’s Contract Renewal
NFL insider Jordan Schultz broke the news on X, highlighting Morris’s versatility and value to the Jaguars. Last season, Morris appeared in 14 games, contributing both as a blocker and on special teams, while also demonstrating potential in the passing game.
“Sources: The #Jaguars are re-signing TE Quintin Morris to a 1-year deal worth up to $3M. Morris is an ascending player who appeared in 14 games last season. Jacksonville values him for his blocking and special teams ability, while he has also shown the capacity to contribute in the passing game,” Schultz tweeted.
After starting the 2025 season on the practice squad, Morris emerged as a reliable team member, finishing with six catches for 55 yards and one touchdown. His commitment to the Jaguars underscores the club’s interest in preserving dependable role players ahead of the upcoming season.
Fan Reactions Highlight Mixed Feelings on the Extension
Supporters shared their perspectives on the deal, with some expressing optimism about Morris’s return and the team’s overall physicality. Others praised the effort to secure valuable depth early in free agency, while expressing hope for further improvements.
“QUINTIN MORRIS IS BACK 🔥🔥earned it. Also still need to upgrade that room,” a fan said.
“The Jaguars will be #physical,” one fan commented.
“Glad to see him back in Duval! Though not the flashiest, Morris helped sure up the Jags in multiple ways!” another fan said.
“3 mil for someone who would block your granny into the dirt. Sign me up. Tough teams win,” a fan wrote.
“Love this… really good depth piece at tight end and a very good special teams player… Good work getting this done before the market opens on Monday,” one fan tweeted.
“Jaguars gonna be back stronger this year,” another fan wrote.
Strategic Benefits of Retaining Morris for Jacksonville
By re-signing Quintin Morris, the Jaguars add consistency alongside tight ends Brenton Strange and Johnny Mundt, especially as Hunter Long’s availability was hindered by injuries during the previous season. The extension is a cost-effective move given the team’s $14-16 million salary cap overage this offseason.
This deal provides the Jaguars with a dependable veteran familiar with the system, allowing general manager James Gladstone to concentrate on key negotiations with marquee players such as running back Travis Etienne Jr. and linebacker Devin Lloyd.
Maintaining Morris’s presence ensures depth and versatility within the tight end group, reinforcing Jacksonville’s efforts to build a more formidable and physically resilient roster for the 2026 campaign.
