Lamar Jackson Addresses Declining Ravens’ Contract Extension Offer, per Report

After the Ravens’ Week 1 victory over the Jets on Sunday, Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked if he declined a contract extension offer that featured $160 million in guaranteed money. According to an earlier report from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter, Jackson turned down a five-year extension offer worth over $250 million with $133 million guaranteed at signing.

When he was asked by ESPN’s Dianna Russini, Jackson confirmed that he declined an extension offer, but he said $160 million was not the exact figure. Instead, he clarified by saying the guaranteed money figure was roughly between $160 million and $180 million.
