Lamar Jackson\u2019s Greatest Play: A Contract Without an Agent<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Jackson is leading his own negotiation for a contract extension with the Ravens, challenging the norms of executives\u2019 relationships to N.F.L. players and raising questions about the efficacy of agents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By any argument, Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson has had an exceptional career, actually a GREAT CAREER, through his first three N.F.L. seasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drafted at the end of the first round in 2018, he quickly emerged as one of the league\u2019s most dynamic players, winning six of his first seven regular-season starts in his first year and the Most Valuable Player Award in his second. At 24, he is a face of the league and the undisputed centerpiece of the Ravens<\/a>\u2019 future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those are among the facts that will undoubtedly be brought up as Jackson and Baltimore executives negotiate an extension of his rookie contract, the massive payday that is usually the largest salary bump in an N.F.L. player\u2019s career and that will determine the market for other franchise quarterbacks nearing the end of their entry-level deals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His peers have already set the table. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in March signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension (with $126 million in total guaranteed money). In August, Bills quarterback Josh Allen received a six-year, $258 million deal<\/a> (with $150 million in total guaranteed money).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
