The deal, which ends a long period of
speculation over the quarterback's future, is worth a reported
$260 million, according to ESPN, eclipsing Philadelphia Eagles
quarterback Jalen Hurts' contract signed only days ago for $255
million over five years.
The Ravens did not immediately respond to a request for comment
on the value of the contract.
"You know, for the last few months there's been a lot of he say,
she say, a lot of nail biting, a lot of head scratching going
on," Jackson said in a video posted to the Ravens' Twitter
account.
"But for the next five years, it's a lot of flock going on.
Let's go, baby."
The Ravens finished last year second in the AFC North behind the
Cincinnati Bengals with 10 wins and seven losses, with Jackson
throwing for 2,242 yards and 17 touchdowns across 12 games. He
ran in another three scores.
