Ravens chase record-breaking deal: a five-year, $287M extension for Lamar Jackson

Baltimore is reportedly pursuing a five-year, about $287 million extension for Lamar Jackson to push his average past $60 million per year, effectively replacing his current two-year, $104 million deal. The plan hinges on cap-efficient structuring (including a large signing bonus and guarantees) and Jackson’s preferences on guarantees; regardless, the Ravens could rework the arrangement later if needed as they work toward making him the league’s highest-paid QB again.

Baltimore Ravens Eye Lamar Jackson Extension Ahead of Free Agency

The Ravens plan to re-enter contract talks with quarterback Lamar Jackson this offseason to extend his deal beyond 2027. Without an extension, Jackson's escalating cap hits would jump to about $74.5 million in 2026–27, consuming roughly 24% of the team's projected cap space and complicating roster-building. GM Eric DeCosta and owner Steve Bisciotti expressed a desire to keep Jackson and maintain flexibility, with Bisciotti suggesting a deal similar in structure to the 2023 pact and warning against dragging negotiations into free agency. If Jackson resists an extension, Baltimore could push the $74.5 million into void years to keep his cap hit near the current $43.5 million. Jackson has previously said he wants to stay in Baltimore long-term and is focused on winning this season.
