Lamar Jackson, Ravens Agree to Five-Year Extension

Celebrate Baltimore, the wait is over, and the MVP is returning. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have agreed in principle to a five-year extension.

Negotiations have been ongoing for about two years, and the breakthrough finally came on the first day of the 2023 NFL Draft. It’s the first-round “pick” the Ravens and their fans have been dreaming of, and reportedly makes Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history.

“For the last few months, there’s been a lot of he said, she said. A lot of nail biting, a lot of head scratching going on,” Jackson said in a video officially announcing the news.

“But for the next five years, it’s a lot of Flock going on. Let’s go, baby. Let’s go. Let’s go, man. Can’t wait to get there, can’t wait to be there. Can’t wait to light up M&T for the next five years, man. Let’s get it.”
