It is also eligible for an extension, and after several quarters, separated Jackson from the top of the market.
Jackson has signed a $ 260 million contract over five years which temporarily made him the best paid player in the sport. By average annual value, it now ranks 10th. Subsequently, a new agreement could be signed before the season, rightly put it among the best compensated passers -by in the NFL.
NFL Media recently urged Ravens to sign Jackson to a massive extension, classifying it as the player who deserves an increase.
“Jackson and Patrick Mahomes could probably hold a place above this list forever – or at least as long as they play football, no matter what their game checks look like”, ” Tom Blair wrote. “How much is too much to pay a walking and speech ticket for the statements of the Super Bowl?”

Jackson almost won his third MVP in 2024 (he won the recognition of the first All-Pro team), and it may be his best season. In terms of production production, it was easily his most impressive campaign.
Jackson recorded his first season of 4,000 yards in 2024. He led the percentage of NFL Touché by providing, yards by attempt, a smuggler side and a quarter-back note.
Its athletics under the center is unprecedented, which makes Baltimore’s ground play as dangerous as its air attack. No smuggler has any more severity, which gives him a set of skills limited only by the market tradition and the salary ceiling.
“Each team continues exactly this type of superpowing generational QB, but most will never get closer to the list. This feverish pursuit helped inflate the quarter-back market to the point that, a little ridiculous, signal captines are paid more per year than the MVP twice.

“The game of the best paid hot potato often seems, of course, being more motivated by timing than merit, but this divergence implies being corrected with a new agreement for one of the best talents in football. Hopefully Baltimore’s desire to discuss the subject publicly is a sign that we have seen soon.”
If there were doubts about Jackson’s value the last time, he erased them with consecutive MVP caliber campaigns. Jackson has not shown no signs of slowdown, and as it becomes one of the best passers -by in the game, Baltimore can feel even more confident to make sure it is as long as possible.
This is just a matter of time before the Ravens made Jackson the best paid player in the sport for the second time.
