Iconic sports agent Leigh Steinberg believes ‘rare’ Lamar Jackson will secure a lucrative long-term contract with the Baltimore Ravens - but slammed the negotiations for taking so long.
Selected in the first round of the NFL Draft in 2018, Jackson won the 2019 MVP and became the second unanimous winner of the award after Tom Brady, thanks to his dominant campaign. Jackson is one of the NFL’s most exciting players and is currently betting on himself amid contract turmoil.
He is hoping to secure the latest long-term contract awarded to a quarterback, but Jackson has already turned one blockbuster offer down and is currently due to be a free agent next summer with an uncertain future. He is believed to have turned down an offer worth $274m over six years to keep him in Baltimore through 2027, with $133m fully guaranteed.
