Lamar Jackson, who hopes of clinching the highest possible bag in NFL, has just given the Baltimore Ravens to release the funds as early as they can. To those who closed onto the live action right after the end of final whistle – Jackson was headed into the tunnel where he picked up a sign from a fan which read, ‘Pay em now.’
Lamar Jackson did not only sign the board but also gave a cheeky smile while handing it over. The marquee Quarterback, who is amongst the top runner for the MVP accolade is yet to receive an extension offer to his liking from the same team.
However, prior to the start of the 2022-23 season, there were reports of Lamar Jackson being offered an extension sheet which was worth $250 Million, wherein $113 Million were guaranteed. Yet the charismatic figure went onto deny that as he felt it wasn’t the right value for his offensive prowess.
To make matters simple for everybody to understand, if Lamar would’ve signed the above-mentioned contract, he would earn lesser than Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos and Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.
Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Bucs have not looked like a settled unit throughout the 2022-23 season. Despite a strong start, they have gone onto drop 5 out of their previous 6 games. In their latest showdown, it was Lamar Jackson who made full use of it.
To talk about the individual performance of Lamar Jackson – he passed for 238 yards and two TouchDowns without an interception while completing 27-of-38 pass attempts. Interestingly, this was the team’s third win in the last four games. Will Lamar be able to stretch the winning tally? Will be an interesting story to witness.
