Lamar Jackson reportedly ends rift with Ravens and agrees to record $260m deal

• Quarterback had requested trade earlier this year
• 26-year-old is one of NFL's most dynamic players
• Deal reportedly worth $185m in guaranteed money

Lamar Jackson will remain a Baltimore Raven for the foreseeable future after agreeing to a five-year contract extension that will reportedly make him the highest-paid player in the league.

The former NFL MVP had requested a trade earlier this year as he struggled to reach agreement on a new deal with the team that drafted him in 2018. At the time he said the Ravens had not been interested in meeting my value". The quarterback has been looking for a contract similar to the fully guaranteed $230m deal Deshaun Watson was given by the Cleveland Browns last year.
