US EditionRavens plan to make Lamar Jackson NFL's highest-paid player
- Ravens head coach John Harbaugh indicated in March 2025 that Baltimore is in discussions with quarterback Lamar Jackson, about a new contract.
- The Ravens are considering a new deal to manage the salary cap and potentially make Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player again, surpassing his current $52 million AAV.
- Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP who represents himself, signed a five-year, $260 million contract in 2023, which included $185 million guaranteed, and is coming off a season where he set career highs in passing yards and touchdowns.
- Jackson's current deal averages $52 million per season, ranking ninth in the NFL, while Dak Prescott's contract averages $60 million per year, and Josh Allen's extension averages $55 million with $250 million guaranteed.
- Addressing Jackson's contract could free up cap space to negotiate with other potential free agents like Kyle Hamilton, Isaiah Likely, and Mark Andrews, though Jackson's postseason performance, marked by 11 turnovers, remains a stumbling block as he seeks his first Super Bowl appearance.
