Ravens, Lamar Jackson In ‘Introductory’ Stage Of Making Him NFL’s Highest-Paid Player

Lamar Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. Two years later, his contract has already dropped to 10th in average annual salary. Though he has three years left, the team is already discussing a new deal, general manager Eric DeCosta confirmed.

“We’ve had some conversations before the draft, after the draft, in person last week”, he said of the Ravens’ talks with Jackson about a new contract this offseason, via Kevin Eck writing for the team’s website. “I think we’re in the introductory sort of stage of looking at what an extension might look like”.
