Baltimore Ravens ace Lamar Jackson could miss out on $250m as NFL gamble backfires

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may regret turning down his huge $250million (£208.5m) contract extension, with the Ravens struggling recently.

Jackson rejected a five-year $250m (£208.5m) deal with the Ravens, that would have seen him make a guaranteed $133m (£111m). Jackson clearly feels as though he is worth more than what the franchise are offering, which is somewhat justifiable when factoring in the amount DeShaun Watson was given when signing with the Cleveland Browns.

There's no doubting that Jackson is one of the best in the league, and at the age of just 25 he is still very much one for the future. But members of ESPN's Get Up show believe that some poor performances this season could well end up costing himself money, with some faith being lost in the quarterback.
