Jaguars to rename stadium 'TrEverBank Stadium' for Trevor Lawrence endorsement deal
The name will be changed for Sunday's game against the Browns
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Jacksonville Jaguars stadium will be renamed from EverBank Stadium to "TrEverBank" Stadium this sunday as a part of one of quarterback Trevor Lawrence's endorsement deals.
The temporary change will be made for the Jaguars' game against the Cleveland Browns Sunday. It is part of Lawrence's new sponsorship deal with the Jacksonville-based financial services company EverBank, which began last month.
The decision was made by EverBank, which has held naming rights for the Jaguar's home venue since it purchased the rights in 2010 for EverBank Field. The venue was renamed EverBank Stadium in June 2023, and Lawrence has appeared in ads on multiple platforms, including social media and television.

Lawrence then became directly involved with the company this year when he started to appear in ads, including one in which he is supervising the installation of the new TrEverBank logo.
The company announced the temporary re-brand Thursday.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has since broken the record for largest annual salary after signing a four-year deal reportedly worth $240 million with his team Sunday.

Lawrence's deal includes $142 million guaranteed. He became the sixth QB making more than $50 million a year, joining Burrow, Jared Goff, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. Lawrence is the 14th to top $40 million annually, and he’s the youngest on the list.
Lawrence will be looking to live up to the big money and lofty honor of having his home stadium named after him against the Browns Sunday. His team will look to bounce back from an opening week loss to the Miami Dolphins.

The Jaguars are coming off a season in which they missed the playoffs and have a new dangerous division rival in the Houston Texans.
The Jaguars began last season 6-2, firmly in first place in the AFC South and a strong contender for the conference's top seed. However, a 3-6 finish to the year dropped Lawrence and company out of first place behind the upstart Texans, and the Jags missed the playoffs.
Lawrence threw for 4,016 yards with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions but didn't make the 2023 Pro Bowl after making it in 2022. He also ran for four scores, lost seven fumbles and was sacked a career-high 35 times.
