The Lamar Jackson contract saga, explained

When Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won the league MVP for the 2019 season, he set himself apart from the rest of his 2018 NFL Draft classmates. While Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has signed a mega-extension, the rest of the highly touted class of quarterbacks are all on different teams than the ones who drafted them.

To add layers of intrigue, two quarterbacks from the 2019 NFL Draft class have also signed huge extensions, bypassing Jackson; the New York Giants re-signed Daniel Jones before 2023 NFL Free Agency opened and last July, the Arizona Cardinals extended Kyler Murray to a large extension.
