NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he “would not be surprised” if Ravens QB Lamar Jackson waits until 2027 to negotiate a new contract.

11 June 2026

The Ravens restructured Jackson’s contract earlier this offseason and he remains under contract through the 2027 season. Jackson opted not to attend some of the Ravens’ organized team activities at one point, which was thought to be a contract-related decision, but he ended up reporting late in May. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes made waves — and increased the quarterback market — with a two-year extension earlier today, bringing his annual average value up to $64 million. Waiting until next offseason to negotiate an extension could pay off for Jackson.
