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

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).

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.
