The offseason saga concerning Kyler Murray ends after he lands up with an extension. The Cardinals let a chunk out of their treasury to keep him on the roster. All eyes have turned towards the Baltimore Ravens, who are yet to give an extension to QB Lamar Jackson. Moreover, boxer Jake Paul comes out publicly to endorse the Ravens’ QB for a lucrative money deal.

Throughout the offseason, many quarterbacks captured the fans’ attention. Be it Aaron Rodgers staying in Wisconsin or Tom Brady’s retirement retreat. Lamar Jackson also garnered attention as his 4-year, $9,471,648 rookie contract is ending. Even though Lamar would compete with the franchise through 2023, a long-term extension for NFL’s most stellar quarterbacks is still yet to happen.
After Kyler Murray’s hefty extension, Social media megastar Jake Paul wants QB Lamar Jackson to get a similar contract. Ravens’ rookie quarterback will probably be among the first to receive an extension, and Paul thinks Jackson deserves a better offer than Murray.
Jake Paul tweets on Friday, saying “Lamar Jackson deserves that Murray Money plus plus.”

The YouTube star-turned-boxer refers to Murray’s Cardinals contract, a five-year extension worth $230.5 million, giving out $46.1 million per year.

Lamar Jackson praised Paul by calling him “My boy,” which he underlined with two Hundred Points Symbol emojis. Although, he did not explicitly state a value higher than that sum was his expectation. While Lamar has no intention of leaving the Baltimore Ravens, DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh intend to keep the dual-threat dynamo that propels the Ravens’ offense.
Social Media lays diverse opinions over the Lamar Jackson extension
Former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson has a good case for getting more money than just what Murray received. Despite Murray playing one less official campaign than Jackson, their statistics are fairly comparable. But NFL fans on social media have various thoughts upon Lamar landing a Murray-worthy deal.
A user believes both Murray and Jackson do not deserve such lucrative contracts.
Really I don’t think either of them deserve that kind of cash!

Another user believes the same as the above one, but a Lamar enthusiast jumps in and lays his case.
Ummmm Lamar is 41-17 as a starter and the ravens are 2-5 without him, he definetly deserves that money

A huge Jake Paul fan believes it is an L take by the social media megastar. But another user does not think so.
How is this an L take? Lamar has done way more than Kyler. He deserves to be paid more than him.
