Ravens Rework Lamar Jackson's Contract to Create Cap Space

Wednesday, March 11, 7:11 AM

The Baltimore Ravens reworked quarterback Lamar Jackson's contract on Wednesday to create around $40 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's a similar restructure to what Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have done for the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, respectively. It's a move to give Baltimore more financial flexibility, with some of the extra space immediately helping the Ravens bring in All-Pro pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson on a four-year deal on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Jackson will head into the 2026 season looking to bounce back after an injury-plagued and disappointing 2025 campaign in which the Ravens didn't qualify for the postseason. The two-time MVP didn't run the ball as much because of his lower-body injuries and finished with 2,549 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 starts. With better health, one of the best dual-threat QBs in the game could easily bounce back in 2026.
