Ravens Target Record Deal for Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens plan to negotiate a long-term extension with quarterback Lamar Jackson during the upcoming offseason, aiming to offer him the highest salary in NFL history. According to reports from James Palmer of NFL on Prime, the team is willing to provide an $84 million cap hit starting in 2027. With significant leverage including no-trade and no-franchise tag clauses, Jackson could become a fully free agent after his ninth season at age 31 if negotiations fail. While Michael Irvin suggested moving Jackson to Miami would make him an international icon, the Ravens prefer keeping their star with a superior supporting cast despite his recent thumb injury that placed him on injured reserve.
