![]() Jackson is also the fastest player in NFL history to hit over 100 career passing touchdowns in addition to over 4,000 career rushing yards, 31 games quicker (67) than Randall Cunningham (98). They're 8-13 and average eight fewer points per game, 20.0, when any other quarterback has started from them across the last five seasons. The Ravens are 45-16 and average 28 points per game when Jackson starts for them since taking him with the last pick of the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Instead, they're doing the opposite and looking into signing other quarterback as fallback options. After almost 12 hours of free agency, Baltimore needs to send a better contract pitch as a peace offering and get this deal done.

The previously highest-paid guard was the Indianapolis Colts' Quenton Nelson, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-Team All-Pro at four years and $80 million. Getting ahead of the rising salary cap to keep your own starting-caliber players is wise, but it's unclear why the Falcons felt the need to reset the offensive guard market by giving Chris Lindstrom five years and $105 million dollars coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2022. However, a strong argument could also be made that Bates III's money may have been served for different positional compensation down the road. Otherwise, the team has reunited Gannon with Kyzir White, a solid but unspectacular starter from the Eagles' defense. ![]() They lost a decent defensive lineman in 25-year-old Zach Allen to the Denver Broncos on a three-year, $45.8 million deal, according to NFL Media as well as one of their top cornerbacks Byron Murphy, who signed with the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year, $22 million contract.
