Winners and Losers of Lamar Jackson's $260M Contract Extension with Ravens | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
We might as well get the most obvious winner out of the way off the jump.
Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. just got paid.
Per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, Jackson posted a video on social media proclaiming his happiness that his contract saga is over.
"You know, for the last few months, there's been a lot of he say, she say," Jackson said in a video. "A lot of nail-biting, a lot of head scratching going on, but for the next five years, it's a lot of flock going on. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Let's go, man. Can't wait to get there. Can't wait to be there. Can't wait to light up M&T (Bank Stadium) for the next five years, man. Let's get it."
Yes, there's a new offensive coordinator in Baltimore in Todd Monken. And a new No. 1 receiver in Odell Beckham. But Jackson knows the locker room in Baltimore. From all indications, he gets along well with head coach John Harbaugh. He's well-liked by teammates and in the community.
