Lamar Jackson is making headlines for his contract extension talks. During his contract negotiations, he reported to the training camp and stunned a few of his critics. However, the situation is being compared to that of star WR and Super Bowl-winning champion Odell Beckham Jr.

Broadcaster Skip Bayless compares Jackson and OBJ to explain why the Ravens should offer LJ a big pay.

When OBJ played for the New York Giants, the management offered him a big payout. Even when the WR went to the Cleveland Browns, he made big bucks. Similarly, Bayless feels that Jackson’s abilities as a QB with the Ravens can get him the big payout in a massive contract extension.

Lamar Jackson’s contract extension talks are making a whirlwind because of his fellow QB, Kyler Murray‘s contract. On the same day Jackson reported to the training camp, Murray finalized his massive contract extension deal with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals’ QB agreed to a five-year contract extension to pay him $230.5 million. Similarly, the NFL world and fans feel that Jackson‘s contract fate will be an exciting tale. However, even Bayless feels paying players way too early goes south for the team. To make his case, he cites the example of Odell and the Giants.

On his show, UNDISPUTED: Skip and Shannon, the broadcaster said, “They paid Odell way too early because he beyond nicked, he started having surgeries. He got hurt and hurt. Look back at what the Giants decided to give him before you know they take the fifth-year option.

Moreover, he added, “Then they said let’s just extend and they extended him and he hit the lottery for a while when he went to Cleveland, he was still making tons of money.”
