Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson is must see-TV with his out-of-this-world athleticism and his dual-threat ability. Jackson is an electric QB who can change the game by himself on any given day which makes him a premier QB in a league that is quite partial to the position. In a saturated market, Jackson is among the most valued commodities which makes his ongoing extension negotiation a topic of interest for anyone involved with the league.
In the past few months, many franchise QBs have signed extensions with eye-popping numbers that have reset the market for a premier Quarterback. Jackson a former MVP is among the few QBs who can reset the market with a deal that many believe will be massive and will make him the highest-paid player in the league.
If the trend is to be observed the deal can be expected to yield anywhere between 40-50 million dollars per year for Lamar Jackson. The negotiations must be quite tense with Jackson representing himself but with the season opener in sight, the talks may have continued for longer than comfortable for anyone.

If the recent extensions like Russell Wilson’s 5-year $245 million, Aaron Rodgers’ 3-year $150.815 million, and Kyler Murray’s 5-year $230.5 million are anything to go by Jackson’s deal would guarantee a huge payday.
