What will free agent tight end Hunter Long's 2025 salary cap hit be with the Jacksonville Jaguars?
The Jaguars signed Long to a two-year deal worth $5 million. He has the ability to earn up to as much as $6.5 million with incentives, according to Aaron Wilson.
Long will have a base salary during the 2025 season of $1.25 million. In total, he received a $750,000 signing bonus that, from a salary cap perspective, will be prorated over the two-year deal--so $375,000 will count towards this year's cap hit.
Long can also earn an additional $500,000 in total between roster and workout bonuses, which makes for a cap hit this season of $2.125 million, per Spotrac.
In 2026, Long's base salary increases to $2 million while he maintains the same bonus structure, making his cap hit next season $2.875 million.
Coming from the LA Rams, Long has experience in an offense that will be similar to Liam Coen's, which should make for a smooth transition.
He's also primarily been utilized as a blocker, which is a crucial element to playing tight end in Coen's offense, but GM James Gladstone does like his upside as a pass catcher.
