The Jacksonville Jaguars can breathe a sigh of relief as they officially addressed one of their biggest needs at cornerback. The Jags agreed to terms with number 9 overall pick CJ Henderson on his rookie deal.

The deal is reportedly for 4 years and $20.5 million, with a 5th year option as well. Jacksonville entered the offseason with a big need at the CB position after star Jaylen Ramsey was traded during the season.

Henderson showed his skill set in the NFL Combine and the Jags liked what they saw. His physicalness and athleticism gives him the ability to play press coverage very well and he should be a great addition to Rashaan Melvin and D.J. Hayden at CB for the Jaguars.
