L<\/a>amar Jackson\u00a0just let another $750,000 slip through his fingers, and not for the first time. For the second straight year, the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0quarterback skipped enough voluntary offseason workouts to miss out on a hefty bonus written directly into his contract. That brings his total losses in workout incentives to a cool $1.5 million.<\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s five-year, $260 million extension signed in 2023 included separate $750,000 workout bonuses for 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, according to\u00a0ProFootballTalk\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Mike Florio. To earn each bonus, Jackson must attend at least 80 percent of the team\u2019s offseason workouts. Two years in, he\u2019s now 0-for-2.<\/p>\n

Why It Matters For Jackson<\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s absence lowers Jackson\u2019s 2025 compensation from $43.5 million to $42.75 million. In the grand scheme of a massive quarterback contract, that may seem minor. But $750,000 is still $750,000- especially when it\u2019s money left on the table by choice.<\/p>\n

Jackson hasn\u2019t publicly explained why he skipped the sessions. Last year, he declined to discuss the forfeited bonus during mandatory minicamp. This week, as players report again, he\u2019ll likely dodge the question once more if it comes up.<\/p>\n

While Ravens head coach\u00a0John Harbaugh\u00a0said he\u2019s not counting Jackson\u2019s attendance, it\u2019s clear someone in the building is. These bonuses don\u2019t get missed without someone keeping track.<\/p>\n
