When the starting quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens played against the Denver Broncos in December, he injured his left knee. Lamar Jackson was not able to participate in any further games. The news only became true when the Heisman Trophy winner announced that he suffered from a Grade 2 PCL sprain with inflammation surrounding the knee. This kept him from participating in the NFL Wild Card Round that the Ravens played against the Bengals. Unfortunately, the 2022-23 season foiled whatever plans the 26-year-old had. Additionally, Jackson’s contract extension appeals did not bear any fruitful results.

The Ravens failed to offer him a contract extension last season. Both parties tried to work things out between them, but could not reach an agreeable end. And now, the team has less than a month to put a franchise tag on Jackson, otherwise, he will become a free agent. But, his new demands have changed the way things were going.

Fresh development in the contract fiasco suggested that the two-time Pro Bowl QB’s counter-offers to the team were for fully guaranteed contracts. The counter-offers exceeded the contract Deshaun Watson signed with the Browns. When fans got to know about this new revelation, they were not happy about it.

The new request Lamar Jackson made to the Ravens has divided fans

Deshaun Watson agreed to a five-year contract worth $230 million in guaranteed money with Cleveland in March 2022. The money is the most assured in the NFL. Many thought that the deal Watson signed with the Browns nuked the market and was one of the worst deals.

The Ravens are a bit hesitant in offering a fully guaranteed deal. Previously in September, the team offered the QB a five-year, $250 million contract that included $133 million guaranteed. But Jackson refused the offer.
