The future of Lamar Jackson hangs in the balance as fans anxiously wait to see how he’ll navigate the treacherous waters of the NFL negotiation table. When the talks between the Baltimore Ravens and their star quarterback fell apart, Jackson revealed his desire to be traded – sending shockwaves through the league. But as fans dissect the situation, a glaring flaw has emerged in Jackson’s strategy.

After a $52 million gap emerged between him and another top QB, fans are urging Jackson to make a bold move and fill the gaps in his strategy. With the Ravens slapping a non-exclusive tag on him, the clock is ticking – will Jackson listen to his fans as he looks around the league to find a new landing spot?

Lamar Jackson faces shocking revelation

According to former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker, Lamar Jackson has made significantly less money than the Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen. He gave the data on the career earnings of the 2018 draft class companions. From that emerged the $52 million gap, with Allen earning significantly more.

The fans quickly latched onto the data and asked the Ravens’ QB to hire an agent. Many fans believe that not having an agent is what is holding him back from getting the deal that he deserves.

Fans were quick to point out that the glaring difference between their earnings was also due to the lack of agent on Jackson’s side.

This fan was in the mood for a joke.

The Ravens picked Jackson as the last pick of the first round of the 2018 draft. Allen went to the Bills as the seventh overall pick. Both have proved themselves to be exceptional quarterbacks with almost a similar style of play. But the Ravens QB played the first five years on a rookie deal while the Bills QB signed a six-year extension worth $258 million. It is all about that extension.

The contract conundrum 

The whole saga started last off-season when the Ravens sat down to talk about an extension with Lamar Jackson. While the QB wanted to stay, he wanted a big-money contract with full guarantees in the region of $230-250 million. The Ravens didn’t agree to it and played him on the fifth-year option. But it came back again at the end of the 2022 season when the rookie deal ended.

Jackson revealed that he rejected a $133 million deal for three years. While it isn’t clear if it was a part of a larger deal or just three years, it fell short of the guaranteed amount. He then dropped a bombshell when he told fans that he had requested a trade away.

While he can talk to any team, the Ravens will get two first-round picks due to the non-exclusive tag. What do you think? Is an agent really the solution to all of Jackson’s problems right now? Will he get an agent and finally land the deal that he deserves and be able to move away from Baltimore? Let us know in the comments below.
