The NFL has entered a crucial period leading up to the start of the season, as many players have decided to continue their careers with new teams. In this case, it was confirmed that an important player from the Baltimore Ravens, who once protected Lamar Jackson, will join the Jacksonville Jaguars led by Trevor Lawrence.
Patrick Mekari, historic offensive lineman for the Ravens, has officially agreed to join Jacksonville and will become the new protector of Trevor Lawrence with the Jaguars. The former California Golden Bears player leaves Baltimore after five years, where he was a key blocker for Lamar Jackson.
The news was confirmed by NFL insider Adam Schefter, who announced Mekari’s arrival to the team via his official X (formerly Twitter) account. From now on, the Jaguars will be led by Liam Coen.
“Source: Jaguars reached agreement with former Ravens OL Patrick Mekari,” Schefter reported via @AdamSchefter. The 27-year-old former Raven is set to sign a three-year $37.5 million contract with $20 million guaranteed.
Patrick Mekari #65 of the Baltimore Ravens looks on before the game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on September 13, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since joining the Ravens, Mekari has played in 88 games, starting in 53 of them. There’s no doubt that the Jaguars are strengthening their offensive line for the upcoming season.
