Ravens have begun early extension talks with Lamar Jackson that will make the two-time MVP quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Lamar Jackson could be back at the front of the line as the NFL's highest-paid player soon, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday.

It's been less than two years since Lamar Jackson agreed to a five-year, $260 million extension and put a stop on any discussion about him leaving the Baltimore Ravens. While the deal made Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player at the time, he's since been bumped down several spots and now ranks ninth leaguewide in average annual value (AAV).
