The Baltimore Ravens have had internal conversations about a new deal for two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson, coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract in 2023, but it was widely viewed as a three-year agreement. The Ravens would likely want a new deal with Jackson before the start of next offseason, when his 2026 salary-cap figure soars to $74.65 million.
At the annual league meeting, Harbaugh indicated that he didn’t know whether the team has begun talks with Jackson, who doesn’t have an agent and represents himself in negotiations.
“You just got to manage the salary cap dance and Lamar is the main part of that because he’s the franchise player,” Harbaugh said. “Sooner or later, that’s definitely going to have to happen.”
