Lamar Jackson has finally agreed terms on a new contract with the Baltimore Ravens, and NFL legend Tom Brady congratulated the quarterback on his record-breaking deal.
Jalen Hurts became the highest-paid player of all-time in the NFL for a matter of days, as after months of negotiations the Ravens decided to trump their offer with Jackson. The Ravens star rejected a large offer last year, and even handed in a trade request on March 2 after being hit with the non-exclusive franchise tag.
But the Ravens and Jackson have their happy ending after all, agreeing on a five-year $260million contract, which included $185m in guarantees. Jackson is delighted to be staying in Baltimore, and Brady reached out to the Ravens star shortly after the news broke.
