Ravens Begin Early Talks on Lamar Jackson Contract Extension

Baltimore explores options to address Jackson’s rising cap hit, with potential for a record-breaking deal.

The Baltimore Ravens have initiated internal discussions about extending Lamar Jackson's contract, which runs through 2027.
Jackson's current deal, signed in 2023, now ranks ninth among NFL quarterbacks in per-year average as salaries across the league have surged.
The quarterback's salary cap hit is set to escalate significantly to $74.5 million in 2026, prompting the Ravens to consider restructuring or extending his deal.
Head coach John Harbaugh suggested Jackson could become the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history if a new agreement is finalized.
The Ravens are also investing in their roster, recently signing offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley Jr. to a three-year, $60 million contract.
