The Jacksonville Jaguars are re-signing guard Ezra Cleveland to a three-year, $28.5 million contract, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

The deal includes a reported $14.5 million guaranteed. The Jaguars acquired Cleveland from the Minnesota Vikings at the Oct. 31 trade deadline last season in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick.

Cleveland, 25, played 15 games (11 starts) with the Vikings and Jaguars in 2023 and surrendered only three sacks while lining up at left guard and left tackle.

Cleveland has started 54 of his 62 career games, including 45 in a row before missing Weeks 7-8 last season due to a foot injury.
