The long process between the Ravens and Lamar Jackson has officially come to an end.

Jackson signed his new deal with Baltimore on Thursday morning. The team announced that the quarterback had put pen to paper with a social media post captioned, “Done. Deal.”

The Ravens and Jackson agreed to a five-year, $260 million contract just before the first round of the 2023 draft started last week. Now that Jackson has signed, details of the deal’s structure are likely to emerge soon.

General Manager Eric DeCosta said in an interview for #PFTPM that the offer Jackson accepted stemmed from the one the Ravens made in September, before the 2022 regular season.

Baltimore is slated to hold a press conference for Jackson with DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

  1. One gets the impression that Baltimore with some solid moves mid season last year, in the draft and FA and now this signing, very well could win this division.

  2. Lamar basically gave up $50 Million by not signing the deal in 2022. That money is not coming back.

  3. The Steelers off season just keeps getting better. They may suck this year still, but with the Ravens now in the rear view mirror with the Browns it’s only the Bengals in the way.

    The contract extension wouldn’t have started until after his previous contract expired. So no he didn’t lose anything. He just got a bigger contract. His mother in the best agent in football.

  5. Weeee-heeeeeeeeeeeee!
    exclaims Steeler Nation, as they ponder Lamar Jackson bringing his pathetic past record to the Steelers/Ravens rivalry for the next five years:

    2 wins and 3 losses [and in one of those wins he didn’t complete a pass]
    67.4 passer rating
    634 total yards
    4 touchdowns
    6 interceptions

    And it even gets better if he doesn’t play…which he doesn’t most of the time…

  6. so an agent would have pressured him to sign for $10m less in 2022. that seems worth the $9m fee. dont need a law degreeto know ur worth!

  7. Our long public nightmare is now over. We can truly focus on what Aaron Rodgers has had for lunch now.

    Even Tyler Huntley can beat the Steelers lol. Enjoy almost making the playoffs every year. The Steelers are dead. Worst team in the AFC North if Watson keeps his hands to himself.

  10. Dude your QB is Kenny Pickett

    And yours is Lamar…what’s your point. Your RB/QB can’t stay healthy.

  11. Can’t wait to see what the passing woes excuse is this year. New OC. OBJ, Bateman, 1st rd WR Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews.

    LOL, He was eligible for an extension the same year as Josh Allen signed his so even though Allen`s was also an “extension” he received his signing bonus (and the 2 years interest on it) plus 42.4m in roster bonus` and Lamar has made 24.7m the last 2 seasons total so Lamar and his mama did lose millions of dollars.

  13. Well Ravens caved into media popular demand. Stevie Wonder could see that.
    I mean billionaires make mistakes too you know.

    Yes, the same Kenny Pickett that went 7-2 down the stretch, beating Baltimore and Cleveland
    and isn’t busting the Steelers cap with a ridiculous contract

  16. Oh, when you’re pondering these Lamar stats vs, the Steeler…

    2 wins and 3 losses [and in one of those wins he didn’t complete a pass]
    67.4 passer rating
    634 total yards
    4 touchdowns
    6 interceptions

    …make sure you add the two fumbles and 16 sacks! 16! That’s not a typo… 16!

    LOL

  17. Halarious , people saying he lost money. Will he ever be able to spend the $150+ million he has gauranteed ?

    Let Pickett somehow go 7-2 down the stretch again, but this time make the playoffs. The Rooney’s will either open the vault or watch him walk.

    Josh Allen’s extension starts in 2023 after his rookie deal expires. The bills restructured it already. Allen signed for $45 million less guaranteed and $9 less season and won’t be a free agent until age 32 as opposed to age 30 for Jackson. Also considering the hype from fans/media if Allen had waited he may have made even more than Jackson right now. Allen should fire his agent and hire Jackson and his mom when he tries to renegotiate in 2 years.

  20. Fistbump to his entourage for coming through on brokering the deal.
