NFL on Prime’s James Palmer reports that the Ravens are willing to make Lamar Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Well, that’s good, because it will assuredly take a record-setting deal to keep him in a Ravens uniform. Jackson has an $84.34 million salary cap hit next season, so the team has to do something with his contract. Jackson has a no-trade clause and a no-franchise tag clause — he possesses a ton of leverage. Per Palmer, the two sides will not negotiate a new deal in-season, so they will try to get something done between the end of the season and the beginning of free agency, which starts in March 2027.
