Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, heralded as the NFL's premier playmaker, may be on the brink of shattering the league's salary ceiling for a starter. According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, it's not inconceivable that Jackson could be paid a staggering $70 million per season by the Ravens. Fowler pointed out that Jackson, who is two years away from free agency, commands an 80 million dollar cap hit in the upcoming year, giving him significant negotiating power.
If other high-profile quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes or Caleb Williams follow suit with massive extensions, Jackson would likely be at the top of the list of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. The Ravens are hoping that Jackson can lead the team to victory in Super Bowl LVII, after a disappointing 8-9 record in the 2025 season.
The team aims to return to the playoffs and reclaim the AFC North title. Jackson will face off against the Indianapolis Colts on September 13, starting at 1 p.m. ET.
