The Ravens Shower Lamar Jackson with Cash (and Maybe Some Crab Cakes?)
Lamar Jackson, the dual-threat quarterback who's made defenses look sillier than a mime stuck in a box, and the Baltimore Ravens finally inked a contract that would make Scrooge McDuck Scrooge jealous. But what exactly did the Ravens cough up to keep their superstar under center? Let's grab a virtual seat on the negotiation table and see what went down.
Money, Money, Monet: The Big Bucks Breakdown
The Ravens didn't just open their wallets, they flung them wide open like a fan trying to snag a home run ball (with much better results, hopefully). We're talking a whopping $260 million contract spread over five years, making Lamar Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history (based on on-field earnings). That's enough cash to buy a fleet of those fancy cars he likes to race around in, with a few stadiums thrown in for good measure.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Guaranteed Green: Safety First (and Second, and Third...)
Now, sometimes contracts in the NFL can be trickier than a greased pig on roller skates. Not this time though! Lamar snagged a cool $185 million in guaranteed money, which means he's got that financial security even if, well, let's just say his passes go south more often than a flock of migrating snowbirds.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
