A massive contract is coming for Lamar Jackson; It could cause issues for Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen

There’s no doubt that Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL-some might even argue he’s the best in the league at his position.

The Baltimore Ravens quarterback came very close to winning his third MVP in 2024, after the award controversially went to Josh Allen, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.

Last season, over 17 games, Jackson threw for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns, with just 4 interceptions, achieving an impressive passer rating of 119.6. His leadership was outstanding, and he came very close to reaching the AFC Championship once again.

A new contract is on the way for Lamar Jackson

The first step is already done-Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta agreed to a new deal with left tackle Ronnie Stanley: a 3-year, $60 million contract to keep protecting Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens also have to decide on whether to renew safety Kyle Hamilton and center Tyler Linderbaum. Plus, Jackson is projected to have a salary cap hit of over $70 million for the 2026 season. Because of this, the team will need to restructure his contract, and Lamar is likely to become the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Just a few days ago, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jackson will receive a contract that will be historic and surpass all others in the league.

Current Top NFL Quarterback Salaries:

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys – $60 million

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars – $55 million

Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers – $55 million

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills – $55 million

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals – $55 million

Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins – $53.1 million

Jared Goff, Detroit Lions – $53 million

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers – $52.5 million

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens – $52 million

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles – $51 million

Jackson is currently the ninth highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. He just finished the second year of a five-year, $260 million contract signed with the Ravens in 2023-$185 million of which is guaranteed-but this will change in the coming months.

PSG vs Atletico Madrid live updates: Lee wraps up 4-0 Club World Cup 2025 win for European champions

Well, what to make of that match? It was certainly more competitive than today's first at the Club World Cup, Bayern Munich's 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City. Paris Saint-Germain looked every bit as impressive as they did in last month's Champions League final win over Inter. However, the 4-0 final does flatter them a bit. Atletico deserved at least one goal today, between their disallowed goal and Alexander Sorloth's absolute sitter he somehow missed. Similarly, PSG's fourth goal was a real gift. The current handball rule is much too harsh on defenders when they're a foot away from the attacker, if you ask me. Still, this was mostly the heavyweight bout that Gianni Infantino would've been dreaming about when he engineered this competition, even if the California heat dampened the players' energy some.

U.S. Open 2025 live updates: Round 4 leaderboard and scores with play suspended due to dangerous weather

The top contenders were already struggling enough — Sam Burns, Adam Scott and Viktor Hovland have all lost two strokes, and J.J. Spaun five — and now the conditions are going to add another element to the equation once play does resume. Who can be a mudder? Even if the rain holds up enough to allow them to get back on the course, it’s probably not done falling. So who can manage their equipment and just stay present enough to focus on the next shot over everything else?If I had to guess, it’s Tyrrell Hatton, who is tied-third at 1-over-par, three shots behind Burns. Hatton is, he’ll admit, almost always miserable anyways. What’s being wet on top of that?
