Shortly after news of the agreement broke, the Ravens shared a video of Jackson addressing the deal for the first time.
Jalen Hurts shocked the NFL world when he signed a deal to become the highest-paid player in the league. But that lasted just 10 days. Lamar Jackson signed a new contract with the Baltimore Ravens and immediately surpassed Hurts.

One of Jackson’s first Ravens teammate to comment on his record contract was the quarterback’s new star wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr. It’s safe to assume that Beckham is excited to take the field with his new quarterback in 2023.
