OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has established himself as one of the top players in football, setting records and creating highlights with his ability to elude defenders.
Now, Jackson is drawing praise as being at the top of the game with how he’s handled his contract situation.
By not signing an extension last season like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Jackson has positioned himself to earn at least $130 million more in guaranteed money and over $7 million more per season. One of the few NFL players not represented by an agent, Jackson is being applauded as loudly as the time he threw for over 400 yards and four touchdowns.
