Parker Washington Shines in Jaguars Opener | Jacksonville Jaguars News

Parker Washington exploded onto the scene in the Jaguars’ season opener, snagging a 30-yard TD, flashing wrestling moves and a flashy celebration to remind everyone he’s here to dominate. He finished with five catches for 83 yards, including two jaw-dropping grabs — a statement performance that’s putting pressure on his pending free agency talks. With a potential $25M+ contract on the line, Washington stayed silent on negotiations, letting his play do the talking. Trevor Lawrence praised his professionalism, saying you’d never guess contract drama was happening. The Jaguars also started fast, leading 24-0 at halftime against Cleveland — continuing their first-half dominance from last year. But they’ve got work to do, especially on kickoff returns. Ventrell Miller had a breakout game with nine tackles and his first career sack, forcing a fumble that led to a TD. Bryan Thomas Jr. sat out, but an injury could open the door for him next week.
