This offseason not only witnessed the wide receivers setting a new benchmark. But it also saw the quarterback market boom with some crazy deals. As of now, most of the top-tier passers have wrapped up their negotiations. But the Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still under the radar for not signing an extension as the season is about to begin in a few days.

Ever since the Denver Broncos offered their new quarterback Russell Wilson a whopping $245 million deal, fans were curiously looking for Jackson to sign a similar contract. However, there have been no official updates from the team or the quarterback.

Earlier it was Cardinals QB Kyler Murray who signed for a $230.5 million contract this offseason, but Wilson’s deal got him off the hook. Looking at the potential of this youngster compared to other veterans, Lamar Jackson is not expected to take a single penny less than his predecessors.

However, a matter of concern happens to be the reason that the 25-year-old is representing himself and has no agent to cover for him. Thus, making it more difficult for the fans to receive first-hand updates about the rumored negotiations.

For the last few days, Jackson was playing mind games with the netizens. Whenever the discussion about extension talks took place, the signal-caller made cryptic comments, leaving the fans to ponder. The most recent one was a meme shared by one of the fans, a popular meme referencing his negotiations.

Jackson shared the tweet with a laughing emoji. A similar instance happened a few days ago when a fan claimed that Jackson was offered $250 million, and the quarterback rejected the proposal. It took no time for Jackson to intervene, saying that the comment was baseless.

While this fan had a bizarre reason to showcase.

As of now, there hasn’t been any confirmation from either side. Jackson had earlier announced that he would not engage in talks once the regular season begins. Thus, it becomes the responsibility of the franchise to secure him before he becomes a free agent next year.
