The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly offered Lamar Jackson $200million (£161.6m) in guaranteed money - more than the deal signed by Jalen Hurts as the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback became the highest-paid player in NFL history.
On Monday, it emerged that Hurts and Philadelphia had agreed to a five-year deal worth $255m (£206m) with more than $179.3m (£144.9m) in guarantees. The 24-year-old will earn around $51m (£41.2m) a year, which eclipses four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers as the highest-paid quarterback in football.
Jackson - whose future has been one of the biggest storylines across the offseason - has been embroiled in a dispute with the Ravens as the former MVP eyes guaranteed money comparable to Deshaun Watson, who signed a $250m deal with the Cleveland Browns last year. Jackson announced he had requested a trade from the Ravens last month just days after the AFC North placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the 26-year-old.
