What happened: Baltimore continues to work on an extension with Lamar Jackson after restructuring his contract in April. Yahoo Sports projected a four-year, $260 million framework.
Why it matters: A new deal could ease future cap pressure and preserve flexibility for other roster moves. It would also establish the price of keeping Baltimore's franchise quarterback beyond 2027.
By the numbers: The projected framework averages $65 million per year, which would make Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player.
What to watch: Watch whether negotiations produce an agreement before the 2026 season and how any extension changes Baltimore's cap outlook.
