Ahead of preparations for a new NFL season, Baltimore Ravens HC John Harbaugh addressed Lamar Jackson's future with the franchise. Since his arrival in the NFL, Lamar Jackson has become one of the most important players in the history of the Baltimore Ravens.

It's been less than two years since Lamar Jackson agreed to a five-year, $260 million extension and put a stop on any discussion about him leaving the Baltimore Ravens. While the deal made Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player at the time, he's since been bumped down several spots and now ranks ninth leaguewide in average annual value (AAV).

“The Ravens have had early extension talks with QB Lamar Jackson, and HC John Harbaugh said that when a deal gets done, Jackson will become the highest-paid player in NFL history,” Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
