In 2017 season, he clinched 8.0 sacks and 21 tackles. While his season may have ended in a high now, the start indeed wasn't. Dante got suspended for the season opener for pleading guilty to criminal mischief, charges of battery, and petit theft stemming from a July 2017 arrest.

A year earlier, he was caught refereeing a fight between his baby mother and girlfriend in an Instagram video.

According to some NFL insiders, Dante's off-stage antics could have played a significant role behind Jaguars not taking upon his fifth-year option.

Behind Dante Flower's New Contract & Salary

At the time when Dante got drafted by Jaguars in 2015, he signed a four-year contract with fifth as optional.

His $23.5 million contracts with the Florida-based NFL outfit guaranteed a $15.3 million in signing bonuses and an average salary $5.8 million per annum. With one year still under his four-year contract, he got shipped to Los Angeles Rams.

At Jaguars, Dante carried a salary cap of $7.3 million in 2018, Rams - however - will have to have to pay him only $1.9 million as salary.

Before securing his acquisition, the LA-based NFL outfit offloaded their guard Jamon Brown in an attempt to accommodate the 24-year-old Florida native.

If pundits were to be believed, between Jaguars and Rams, Dante's current team avoided drawing the short end of the stick.
