Lamar Jackson is a 26-year-old former MVP. He does not have a long term contract.
These are not two sentences that should go together. Patrick Mahomes won his MVP at age 23, then signed a $500 million deal two years later. Josh Allen emerged as an All-Pro in 2020 and had a $258 million, six-year extension the following offseason. In a league where quarterback play rules all, Jackson’s availability is curious, to say the least.
