Ravens' Lamar Jackson Contract Looks Better After Recent Extensions

Last offseason, the Baltimore Ravens signed star quarterback Lamar Jackson to a five-year, $260 million extension that made him the NFL's highest-paid player at the time of signing. Now just over a year later, that contract looks tame compared to some of the ones signed this offseason. Jackson signed his extension in April of 2023, and in the 14 months since, four different quarterbacks have signed contracts that surpass his average annual value of $52 million.
