In the 2023 season, Josh registered about 66 tackles out of which 17 were for loss, 33 quarterback hits, 17.5 sacks two forced fumbles, one pass defensed, and one interception. Last season, his quarterback hits, sacks, and tackles for loss were all career highs this season.
Josh Allen played his last season with the Jaguars, in his final year out of the five-year contract worth $10.9 Million. The Jaguars and Josh Allen failed to get on an extension deal but this franchise tag would be like a time extension for both sides to come to an agreement.
Note that both sides want to be reunited, at the end of the day. In February, Trent Baalke, General Manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars said that Allen is going to be a Jaguar next year. In fact, Josh Allen himself wants to be on the team for an extended time.
"I'm a legacy guy. I have a great opportunity to continue to leave a legacy here and I'm going to continue that as much as I can and stand on that. I want to be a Jag, man. The right way. I'm going to do it the right way. And that's all I have to say about that," Josh Allen had said during a media interaction.
