The Baltimore Ravens and star quarterback Lamar Jackson agreed to a tentative agreement to a five-year contract on Thursday, ending a bargaining saga that has dominated the team’s offseason.
According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, the deal worth a total of $260 million will make him the highest-paid quarterback in football history.
The Ravens announced the deal hours before the first round of the NFL Draft.
Jackson was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 2019, but since his rookie contract ended, his future in Baltimore was uncertain. The Ravens tagged Jackson as a franchise player last month, but the star quarterback has gone public with asking for a trade because “the team didn’t recognize his fair value.” »
Shortly after, the Ravens said they still hoped to reach a long-term agreement with their offensive general.
