The standoff between the Baltimore Ravens and their QB Lamar Jackson continues. Both Jackson and the Ravens have different opinions on the quarterback’s value in the NFL. The Ravens have placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, meaning that he is free to engage in negotiations with other teams during free agency. Some people think that the team will lowball the quarterback if they retain him at the Ravens.

The $250 million contract
Last year, Lamar Jackson apaprently turned down a contract offer from the Ravens believed to be worth around $250 million. Jackson wanted a fully guaranteed contract similar to the likes of Deshaun Watson’s $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens had offered Jackson a six-year contract with $133 million guaranteed. This was not close to the offer Watson received and Jackson felt like he was being undervalued by the Ravens.
While this issue continues to persist, Jackson’s future in the NFL will be the talk of the town until fans receive some sort of clarity. Will the Ravens give the 2019 MVP what he is looking for? Or will another team come and sweep him off the Ravens?
