OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Lamar Jackson officially signed his five-year, $260 million contract on Thursday, setting NFL records for signing bonus, three-year cash flow and average per season.
But Jackson revealed he has a more ambitious number in mind in this revamped Ravens offense. «I want to throw for like 6,000 yards with the weapons we have,» Jackson said with a laugh. «I'm not an individual award-type guy or a stat watcher.
I just want to do that because no one has ever done it and I feel like we have the weapons to do it.» Jackson has never surpassed 3,200 yards passing in his career, but he's clearly excited about Baltimore building the strongest wide receiver group of his career.
The Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor in free agency and then drafted Zay Flowers with the No. 22 overall pick.
