 Lamar Jackson allegedly about to get 40 to 45 million a year. Jackson is a player that changes the way you view football. That has come into question a couple different times. Lamar and the offensive coordinator wanted to prove to the world that he was a better ball thrower if he was just to be a pocket quarterback than anybody else as well. They learned that that was not the right option because what he does better than everybody on earth is make a play. 40 to 45 million dollars per year is a lot of money to invest in somebody.
