The Ravens extended a six-year, $250 million contract to Jackson.

The agreement would have given Jackson a greater annual pay as well as more financial guarantees than the extensions.

Negotiations were suspended because Jackson reportedly demanded a fully guaranteed contract similar to the $230 million deal Deshaun Watson received from the Cleveland Browns.

With the Cardinals, Murray agreed to a contract worth $230.5 million, of which $189 million is guaranteed and $46 million in compensation.

Negotiations have become more challenging because Jackson does not have an agent.

The NFL Players Association informed the 25-year-old that he had cause to demand a fully guaranteed deal.
