Every NFL team’s highest salary for the 2023 season

Jacksonville Jaguars: Cam Robinson — $18.562 million

This one is complicated. Cam Robinson technically has the highest salary on the Jacksonville Jaguars this season, but he isn’t actually going to make the $18.562 million that he’s slated to make. He was suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s PED policy. He will lose $888,000 for each game he misses, and now the guarantees in his contract could be voided.

For now, let’s continue as if he’s the highest-paid player on the Jaguars. They haven’t paid Trevor Lawrence yet, which gives them the luxury of paying other premium positions. The most important of which is the one that protects Lawrence.

That is what’s truly unfortunate about the Robinson suspension. With Lawrence finally gaining momentum at the end of last season, he now has to build off that with a different left tackle. Now, the Jaguars are going with Walker Little in Robinson’s absence. There are many instances where a player came in after a star made a mistake or got hurt, and they stole the position. Will that happen with Robinson and Little?

There’s an outside chance the Jaguars cut Robinson, but it feels like that would have happened already. The Jags could cut him next season and save close to $18 million against the cap. Of course, the Jaguars need to have a replacement at the position.
