Lamar Jackson skips first practice installing new Baltimore Ravens offense after $260m contract

Lamar Jackson has not taken part in the Baltimore Ravens first practice session after signing his new contract.

The Ravens ’ star quarterback signed a new five-year contract just last week which makes him the highest paid player in the NFL. It’s reported that Jackson will earn $260m (£206m) over the course of the deal, which equates to $52m (£41m) per year.

Wednesday saw the Ravens host their first voluntary practice session following the 2023 NFL Draft. The AFC North side drafted seven players last month, including wide receiver Zay Flowers, line-backer Trenton Simpson, edge Tavius Robinson, cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly, offensive tackle Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu and offensive guard Andrew Vorhees.
