The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a new deal with cornerback Montaric “Buster” Brown,Yankee Scores reports.
Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the move ensures Brown remains in Jacksonville rather than testing free agency.
Contract details
Brown signed a three-year, $33 million contract, negotiated by Milk & Honey Sports. The 2022 seventh-round pick would have drawn strong interest on the open market, but he made it clear he did not want to leave Jacksonville. His decision reflects both loyalty and confidence in the team’s direction.
Why Brown matters
Brown’s development has been a bright spot for the Jaguars’ secondary. His ability to play physical coverage and adapt to multiple schemes has made him a reliable option. By keeping him, Jacksonville maintains continuity in a unit that has steadily improved. Moreover, his growth from a late-round pick to a starter underscores the team’s success in developing talent.
Market value and loyalty
Although Brown could have commanded attention from other teams, his choice to stay highlights his commitment to the franchise that drafted him. “He didn’t want to leave Jacksonville,” sources emphasized, showing his desire to remain part of the Jaguars’ long-term vision. For the team, retaining him avoids the risk of losing a starter in free agency and strengthens their defensive depth.
Looking ahead
With Brown under contract, Jacksonville can now focus on adding depth and addressing other roster needs. His presence stabilizes the cornerback position and gives the Jaguars flexibility heading into free agency and the draft. The deal also underscores the team’s proactive approach to keeping homegrown talent while building for sustained success.
