It is finally over. After almost 3 years of intense back and forth, the Baltimore Ravens have finally managed to re-sign Lamar Jackson. Though, it seems it has come at a price, literally and figuratively. Naturally, there has been a spiked interest in the now highest-paid QB in the NFL. Especially around his family, about whom he is very secretive.

Jackson started garnering traction in the media after it was reported that he would be pursuing his contract extension without an agent. For him, agents add no value to the contract, rather they take away from it. Although no one gave him a chance to get through these negotiations without an agent, he still made it out as the highest-paid QB in the NFL. All thanks to his superb on-field performances.
Does Lamar Jackson have a daughter?
Lamar Jackson, unlike many other athletes, is very secretive about his family. In fact, he has only ever posted about his daughter once, during last season’s bye-week, conveniently during Halloween. He shared a photo of his daughter, Milan Jackson, dressed up as Pebbles from the cartoon “The Flintstones”.

Naturally, when his story came out, it sent shockwaves across the football community. Even die-hard Jackson fans were caught by surprise as the news about his potential daughter spread like wildfire. Almost the same as when it was revealed he had a girlfriend. Although that many had expected to happen. One thing that everyone knows for sure, is Jackson’s daughter has already won many hearts with her cuteness.
Jackson’s contract sage ends with a decisive victory for him
After almost 28 months of negotiations, the Lamar Jackson contract saga has finally reached its end. More importantly, it ended with a decisive win for Jackson. According to ESPN, the contract is worth $260 million, for a 5-year extension. Of which, around $185 million is in guaranteed money, making him the highest-earning QB in the league right now, drawing $52 million a year.
Though the guaranteed money is less than what he was demanding, there is no way Jackson is not happy with this setup. In fact, though the Ravens have to pay more, they themselves will be somewhat satisfied with the deal. They get to keep a future Hall of Famer on the roster, who will give them a great chance to make a run for this year’s Super Bowl. Will Jackson live up to the hype, and deliver a Super Bowl?
