The Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they officially came to terms with rookie receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. Thursday afternoon. With his signing, they’re now at a total of five draft picks signed, leaving seven without deals currently.
The Jags selected Shenault in the second-round (No. 42 overall) from The University of Colorado in April’s draft. After putting pen to paper, he’s now the highest draft selection to make it official with the Jags as C.J. Henderson and K’Lavon Chaisson were the only two picks selected higher than him by the team.
Shenault was able to accumulate 149 catches for 1,943 yards and 18 touchdowns during his three-year tenure with the Buffaloes. While there he was a do-it-all weapon for them, not only lining up at receiver but in the slot, at running back, and at wildcat quarterback, too.
Per Over the Cap, the contract Shenault signed is a four-year deal that pays out a total of $7,696,066 with a signing bonus of $3,157,140, which will be prorated evenly over the span of each year on the deal.
When he takes the field for training camp on July 28, he’ll join a talented group that includes pro bowler D.J. Chark, veteran Chris Conley, Dede Westbrook, Keelan Cole, and Collin Johnson, who also was a draft selection this April.
