With Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray signing a massive contract extension Thursday, Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson should be the next quarterback to land a new deal.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Murray signed a five-year, $230.5 million contract with $160 million guaranteed, and he became the second-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL in terms of average annual salary at $46.1 million.
Per Spotrac, the average annual value of Murray's new deal is behind only Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' $50.2 million average salary, and ahead of the Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson ($46 million), the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes ($45 million) and the Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen ($43 million).
