Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson has cost himself a pretty penny by skipping OTAs.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the two-time league MVP has lost a whopping $750,000 worth of bonuses by missing Ravens OTAs. Florio noted that Jackson’s contract included $750,000 bonuses from 2024-2027 if he participates in “at least 80 percent of” team workouts.
After initially requesting a trade in the 2023 offseason, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $260 million. So missing out on that $750,000 payday won’t bother Jackson, but three-quarters of a million dollars can still buy a lot in today’s economy.
It was also reported earlier this week that the Ravens and Jackson have started discussions on a new deal. Seeing how much the quarterback market has skyrocketed since he signed that $260 million extension, Jackson stands to get a nice raise from the current average annual value of $52 million.
Last season, Jackson put together the best numbers of his career as a passer, throwing for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns against only four interceptions. Jackson finished second in MVP voting behind Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen.
