The contractual situations are heating up in the offseason. It is officially that time of the year when the contracts are in development and teams extend deals for a long time. This year is significant for Lamar Jackson, who has not had a lengthy money deal. New York Giants‘ Daniel Jones also joined in the fray. Both QBs have new developments, but the NFL fandom has different emotions for both of their deals.

After months of negotiation, the Baltimore Ravens failed to reach a deal with star QB Lamar Jackson. The franchise eventually placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on LJ. On the contrary, Daniel Jones was fighting for a lengthy contract with the Giants and bagged a four-year $160 Million deal.

This user is hopeful to see a solution between Jackson and the Ravens’ management.

This user pointed the comparison missed one thing.

The non-exclusive tag allows other teams to pursue Lamar. But the situation is turning the opposite.

Franchises are losing interest in Lamar Jackson

The NFL teams can pursue the hottest QB available. Lamar Jackson had a significant buzz, and they had an eye on the contractual situation. However, despite some franchises lacking starting QBs, the Panthers, Commanders, Dolphins, and others may not pursue the former MVP.

The reasons for the teams not going with LJ might look obvious. The franchises would not prefer giving up on their top draft picks since it would be an upscale expense. Additionally, the demand for a fully guaranteed deal is another hurdle. The lack of an agent makes it difficult too.

The disrespect over Lamar Jackson is not a fair thing. But the situation seems a difficult one. It is yet to witness how the case materializes.
