Sources say Lamar Jackson turned down Ravens' $250 million contract offer

Although Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have kept details of their contract negotiations private, the star quarterback turned down what league sources believe was an offer worth about $250 million.
The Ravens also balked at Jackson's wish for a fully guaranteed deal similar to Deshaun Watson's, sources told ESPN, prompting the sides to table contract talks until after the 2022 season.
quote:
Sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that the Ravens proposed a six-year contract believed to pay Jackson a higher average salary and more guaranteed money than deals signed this summer by Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
Wilson signed a $242.5 million deal earlier this month that averaged $48.5 million annually and included $161 million guaranteed, about six weeks after Murray received a $230.5 million deal that averaged $46 million per year and included $189.5 million guaranteed.
quote:
The Ravens' offer included $133 million fully guaranteed at signing, sources told Mortensen, which also is more than both Wilson ($124 million) and Murray ($103.3 million)

Jackson acted as his own agent in the negotiations while leaning on the help of his mother and the NFL Players Association

When the Ravens balked at Jackson's wish for a full guarantee, the Ravens announced Friday that the sides were stopping contract talks and would resume them after this season.

He is an absolute fricking idiot if he really turned down a deal with more guaranteed money than Wilson

Jackson is a dynamic player and fun to watch but I just don’t see him taking the Ravens to the super bowl.

What a fricking idiot

But do we believe this report?

Acting as his own agent is insane. And turning down $250 million with $113 million guaranteed shows it. If he gets hurt or has a mediocre season that deal is gone.

Mortensen is about the most reputable guy possible
Posted on 9/11/22 at 8:11 am to SPEEDY
Ok now I really don’t feel bad for him if this is true. His game in its current form has a short shelf life and honestly I’m shocked the ravens offered that much.
Posted on 9/11/22 at 8:11 am to SemiNoblePursuit
Factor in there would be no agent fee, and this is insane if true.
Posted on 9/11/22 at 8:11 am to ReauxlTide222
I mean Chris Mortensen

$113 million guaranteed shows it.

I can’t lie
I was under the impression he was an old hack and the same guy who did the “Kap is the probably the GOAT”

Dak already proved there really isn’t a ton of a risk in doing that. Closer he gets to FA, the higher his price tag will be
Posted on 9/11/22 at 8:14 am to wildtigercat93
Dak is 10x the passer of the football as Lamar and has so much more value as a FA

If he hits unrestricted free agency his contract will make Daks look like Childs play. Teams will fall over themselves to give him an insane contract

ESPN just said it was $290 million.
He apparently wants $240 million guaranteed like the Browns gave their suspended rub n tug aficionado.
