With just four years in the NFL and three as a starter for the Ravens, Lamar Jackson aspires to one of the best contracts in the league. Most impressive of all is that the Louisville product you can get it without the need for intermediaries.
Jackson, 24, rconducts negotiations with the Baltimore team without a representative and the passer is not expected to hire an agent to finalize a new multi-year agreement.
Bleacher Report added that Felicia Jones, mother of the 2019 campaign MVP, is in charge of running Jackson’s finances and businesses in the NFL.
However, this is not news for Lamar. Since being drafted in the first round of the 2018 Draft, the quarterback declined to associate with an agent; So far this has worked for him as by 2022 he will earn $ 23 million as part of the fifth-year clause of his rookie deal.
Sense of urgency
The Ravens see Lamar’s decision as a convenient situation. As reported by Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, the team wants to finalize a new contract for Jackson this offseason Because it will allow them to lighten the impact on the salary cap if the agreement begins to be effective from 2021 and they can distribute the new money in their current payroll limit.
For his part, the passer indicated that he is not worried that the negotiations will take place because his priority is on the sports side. “I am not going to lie, I’m not focused on that. I’m focused on winning a Super Bowl, on getting better. I am focused on working with my colleagues ”, he declared.
