The ongoing saga of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to capture attention in the NFL. With his contract intricacies making headlines, Jackson’s participation in offseason workouts is under scrutiny. As of now, he has missed these sessions again, which could impact his financial future in 2025.
- Lamar Jackson's attendance impacts his bonuses.
- Workout bonuses total $750,000 each year.
- Missing workouts reduces his 2025 salary.
- Non-football injuries risk payment loss.
- Jackson previously declined to discuss bonuses.
- He has forfeited $1.5 million so far.
Jackson’s contract includes substantial workout bonuses, specifically $750,000 for each of the years 2024 through 2027, contingent on attending at least 80% of offseason workouts. Missing out on these workouts means a reduction in his 2025 compensation from $43.5 million to $42.75 million. While this may seem minor in the grand scheme, it raises questions about his commitment and fitness.
Jackson’s decision to skip workouts not only affects his wallet but also raises the risk of injury during independent training. If he sustains a non-football injury, the Ravens may not be obligated to pay him in 2025. This situation begs the question: is Jackson prioritizing his health over financial incentives?
- Jackson has forfeited $1.5 million by missing workouts over the last two years.
- His contract structure may lead to future negotiations about workout bonuses.
- Missing workouts could increase the risk of non-football injuries.
- The Ravens may reconsider their approach to Jackson’s contract in light of these developments.
As the Ravens prepare for the mandatory minicamp, all eyes will be on Jackson. Will he address these concerns, or will he continue to focus on his training away from the team? Fans are eager to see how this unfolds.
