Ravens Make Huge Lamar Jackson Announcement Ahead of NFL Draft

The contentious standoff between the Ravens and star quarterback Lamar Jackson  finally reached a resolution on Thursday when the two sides agreed to a five-year $260 million contract extension, the team confirmed on Twitter. 

The new deal makes the dual-threat signal-caller the highest paid player in the league. Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports that the deal rewards Jackson with $185 million in guaranteed money. 

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was the first to break the news on an agreement between the two sides. The news came just minutes after Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that “major progress” had been made between the two sides.
