Lamar Jackson leads list of quarterbacks set for next big deals

The Patrick Mahomes contract, which averages $63.093 million annually, sets a new precedent for quarterback salaries. Lamar Jackson, currently averaging $52.5 million per year, looks to leverage Mahomes's deal for his negotiations, potentially pushing his expected salary to at least $63.1 million annually. Joe Burrow's situation remains uncertain as he may avoid extending his commitment to the Bengals after three non-playoff seasons. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield and C.J. Stroud are entrenched in contract discussions, and Caleb Williams is looming as a future deal prospect following his rookie contract. Jayden Daniels also seeks to reestablish himself ahead of his eligibility for a new deal next offseason.
