The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Monday on the Pat McAfee Show that the Baltimore Ravens are reportedly willing to give quarterback Lamar Jackson a bigger deal than Arizona Cardinals star Kyler Murray.
"I would imagine the Kyler Murray deal would be the floor," Rapaport said (around the one-minute mark). From what I understand, the Ravens are willing, as they should, to go more than that. So that was $46.1 [million], if I remember correctly, in new money.
This offseason, Murray signed a five-year, $230.5 million extension with the Cardinals that included a $29 million signing bonus and $160 million guaranteed.
In total value, Patrick Mahomes' 10-year, $450 million deal tops the quarterback position. In terms of annual average value, Aaron Rodgers' three-year, $150.8 million deal leads that way at $50.2 million per season. And Deshaun Watson's five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million deal leads the NFL in guaranteed money.
