The Jaguars’ future plans further crystallized late Wednesday night when they signed outside linebacker Telvin Smith to a four-year contract extension worth a reported $44 million ($20.5 million guaranteed).

Smith is the second member of the team’s 2014 draft class to sign a new deal, following center Brandon Linder.
