Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension in 2023 that included $185 million worth of guaranteed money. The former first-round pick is making $52 million per season. That made Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history just 10 days after the Philadelphia Eagles set the previous record by extending quarterback Jalen Hurts.

During an appearance on the BMore Baseball Podcast, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta confirmed that the team is in the “introductory stage” of contract talks with Lamar Jackson.
