Since being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, Lamar Jackson has revolutionized the quarterback position with his dual-threat capabilities. His massive net worth is thanks to his massive five-year, $260-million contract signed in 2023, which guarantees him $185 million and an annual salary of $52 million. Known for negotiating his deal without an agent, this athlete saved approximately $5.5 million in agent fees.

Lamar’s endorsement deals, including partnerships with Oakley and NFL Pro Era VR, contribute an additional $8 million to his earnings. His impressive performances, including winning the NFL MVP in 2019, have solidified his status as one of the league’s top players.
