Palm Beach, Florida – Baltimore Raven’s He held internal talks on a new deal for the American Football Association players twice Lamar JacksonCoach John Harbo said on Monday.
Jackson signed a five -year contract worth $ 260 million in 2023, but was widely seen as a three -year agreement. The crows are likely to want a new deal with Jackson before the start of the next season, when his number in the salary increases for 2026 to 74.65 million dollars.
At the annual league meeting, Harbau indicated that he does not know whether the team had started talks with Jackson, who has no agent and represents himself in negotiations.
Harbo said: “You just have to manage the salary hat dance and Maar is the main part of this because he is the franchise player,” Harbo said. “Urgent or later, this must definitely happen.”
Since the signing of what was a record deal in the US Football Association two years ago, Jackson has established himself as one of the main players in the league. The second US Football Association MVP won in 2023 and was repeated as MVP last season, where he finished the close runner -up Josh Allen.
“When he asked to put value on Jackson,” Harbo said. “The value is the top. When Lamar gets their salaries, the highest -scoring player will be in football, just as it was the last time. I think every contract is probably signed until he decides to suspend his Almoravids, that man will be. “
Allen is currently holding the title of a player in the American Football Association, the highest -winter after signing a six -year extension of $ 330 million with Boufalo invoices On March 9. It included restrictions on $ 250 million of guaranteed funds.
The current Jackson deal includes $ 185 million of guaranteed funds and an average of $ 52 million in the season, which is ranked ninth in the US Football Association. The maximum number this season is $ 43.65 million, but it increases by $ 31 million in 2026.
Paltimore may want a new deal with Jackson for the next 11 months to liberate the cover room before a free agency next year. It took 27 months of difficult negotiations for the team to complete the last Jackson contract.
In the American Football Association last month, Eric Decosta, General Manager of Ravers, referred to Jackson as a “interest owner” and “partner”, and said he might visit Jackson in Florida this season.
On Sunday, the president of the Ravers Sashi Brown was postponed all the questions about a new deal for Jackson to Decosta, adding: “We love Lamar. We like to see his development as a young man, a football player and a team captain.
Jackson, 28, will get out of the best season in his career in the US Football Association for seven years. He took his game to another level last season, and put their professional levels with 4,172 yards and 41 grounds touch. In the leadership of Ravers to his first arrangement in the attack, Jackson became the first player in the history of the league to produce more than 4000 yards and 900 yards accelerating the same season.
The largest stumbling block in Jackson came in the post -season. It is 3-5 in the qualifiers and never advanced to Super Bowl. His 11 -season transformations are the most in the US Football Association since he entered the league in 2018.
“This is what I love in Lamar Jackson – he wants to improve all the time,” Harbo said. “He was never satisfied with.
