Lamar Jackson Historic Contract
Lamar Jackson played college football at Louisville, where he won the Heisman Trophy award in 2016. He was drafted #32 overall by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2018 NFL Draft. He quickly gained attention for his abilities as a quarterback, being equally adept at passing and running.
Lamar Jackson’s 2019 accomplishments included breaking Michael Vick’s single-season quarterback rushing record with 1,206 yards and becoming the youngest quarterback in NFL history to win the MVP award at the age of 23.
Lamar Jackson Net Worth
In September 2022, Lamar Jackson famously turned down a six-year, $250 million contract extension with the Ravens, which made NFL experts think him crazy. He did not think it was enough overall and apparently did not like that only $130 million was guaranteed.

On April 27, 2023, Lamar Jackson signed a five-year $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens. The contract’s per-season average salary of $52 million made Lamar Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history. Reportedly, $185 million of the deal is fully guaranteed. Interestingly, Lamar did not use an agent to negotiate his deal. Using just the guaranteed portion of his deal, $185 million, by negotiating directly he saved $5.5 million in agent fees.
