The Jacksonville Jaguars picked up the contract options of two key contributors in receiver Chris Conley and safety Jarrod Wilson Friday. The move to keep both now puts Conley under contract for one more year and Wilson under contract through 2021.

Conley, 27, joined the Jags last season as a free agent from the Kansas City Chiefs. While participating in 16 games and starting in 14, he was able to garner career-highs in receptions (47), receiving yards (775), and receiving average (16.5). His total in receiving yards put him only under DJ Chark Jr. for the season, so many expected him to remain with the team.
Wilson, 26, has been with the Jags since 2016 when he joined the team as an undrafted free agent. He signed an extension last January, then proceeded to start in all 16 regular season games for the Jags. He accumulated 73 tackles — a career-high — and registered a Pro Football Focus grade of 72.7 on the season. While the Jags could add a safety to push him down the road, he looks to be penciled in as a starter for 2020 alongside Ronnie Harrison.
