Lamar Jackson Signs Record 5-Year, $260M Extension to Stay with Baltimore Ravens

Jackson represented himself in negotiations without an agent and received $185 million guaranteed.
Jackson wanted to stay in Baltimore and finish his career with the Ravens despite interest from other teams.
The deal makes Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history at $52 million per year and includes a $72.5 million signing bonus.
Jackson is excited to work with new additions to the Ravens offense and hopes to throw for 6,000 yards this season.
The negotiations were lengthy and contentious at times, with Jackson even requesting a trade in March before agreeing to a deal.
