Jackson Eyes Super Bowl, Not Contract | Cleveland News

Lamar Jackson is staying focused on football, not contracts, as the Ravens prepare for their 2026 opener — even though he could become the highest-paid QB in NFL history. With his current deal set to balloon over $84M against the cap in 2027 and the team already facing salary cap headaches next offseason, Baltimore’s front office is quietly hoping to lock him up before then — but no talks are happening right now. Despite rumors of a possible $70M/year deal, both sides remain aligned, with no signs of friction and mutual long-term trust. Jackson, two-time MVP and Super Bowl chase still alive, isn’t rushing — and neither is the franchise, even if time is ticking.
