By agreeing to a deal with Jackson soon, Baltimore could get ahead of negotiations that will become a necessity next offseason.

It's been less than two years since Lamar Jackson agreed to a five-year, $260 million extension and put a stop on any discussion about him leaving the Baltimore Ravens. While the deal made Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player at the time, he's since been bumped down several spots and now ranks ninth leaguewide in average annual value (AAV).

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo talks about John Harbaugh's contract extension, his perspective on the next pending Lamar Jackson contract, and what it will take for Baltimore to get over the hump.
