Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has turned down a six-year, $290m contract extension with the team that drafted him in 2018, according to a report.
Jackson is expected to hold out for a bigger sum, as Baltimore’s recent offer only included $160-180 million in guaranteed earnings.
Cleveland Browns QB DeShaun Watson signed a guaranteed $230m deal in March of this year, which has changed the landscape of QB contracts in the league.
