The Baltimore Ravens are getting ready for another season where they expect to compete for a Super Bowl. As long as Lamar Jackson is under center, the team will expect to compete in the playoffs. However, Jackson will be missing out on a massive pay day once again.

According to Arnab Mondal of Total Pro Sports:

Lamar Jackson just let another $750,000 slip through his fingers, and not for the first time. For the second straight year, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback skipped enough voluntary offseason workouts to miss out on a hefty bonus written directly into his contract. That brings his total losses in workout incentives to a cool $1.5 million.

Jackson’s five-year, $260 million extension signed in 2023 included separate $750,000 workout bonuses for 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio. To earn each bonus, Jackson must attend at least 80 percent of the team’s offseason workouts. Two years in, he’s now 0-for-2.

This year’s absence lowers Jackson’s 2025 compensation from $43.5 million to $42.75 million. In the grand scheme of a massive quarterback contract, that may seem minor. But $750,000 is still $750,000- especially when it’s money left on the table by choice.
