With $200 million (Ā£157 million) guaranteed, the external reports value the contract at $55 million (Ā£43 million) year, making the 24-year-old quarterback tied with Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals for highest salary.
If a long-term deal hadn't been completed, Lawrence, the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, would have played for $5.6 million (Ā£4.4 million) on a rookie contract in 2024.
