In 2021, he became the No. 1 overall pick and signed a four-year rookie contract with the Jaguars. Consequently, this deal pays his $36.8 Million with a $24 million signing bonus. The contract also includes a fifth-year option attached to every rookie deal for first-round selections.

Although the crypto market has recently remained volatile, Trevor wouldn’t want to bet on it. His chances of recovering his losses from the market alone are bleak since cryptos took a bearish path. All in all, these losses could propel him to stay with the Jaguars longer than he thought.
