The NFL world is riled up at the news with many fans questioning the franchise on the amount of money in the contract. Others are also comparing Jackson with other QBs in the league. According to a fan, those saying don’t overpay him don’t understand the market.

This fan asked if the Ravens have ever broken the bank for a skilled player.

Another fan pointed out that it is not much higher than the previous offer.

This fan is wondering how much Joe Burrow will get.

Another fan pointed out that Jackson hasn’t stayed healthy in the last two seasons.

This fan is also wondering about the number of injuries that Jackson has endured.

The Ravens exercised their fifth-year option on the QBs rookie deal. This came after the franchise failed to negotiate terms with Jackson in the 2022 offseason. Both sides still haven’t come to an agreement, opening the doors of free agency for Jackson. The Ravens may still franchise tag Jackson to give themselves more time. Jackson reportedly wants more guaranteed money in the contract, on the lines of Deshaun Watson. But did he prove himself worthy in the 2022 season?

The 2022 NFL season 

Lamar Jackson took the field 12 times in the 2022 regular season for the Ravens. And he led his team to eight victories in those games. So essentially, he made sure that the Ravens would reach the playoffs. And they did reach the postseason, although they didn’t have Jackson to take them forward. The Ravens crashed out of the wildcard round against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson missed the last five regular-season games and the playoff clash due to a sprained knee.

The QB threw 2,242 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. He also gained 764 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns on the ground. A real double threat. Will Jackson and the Ravens finally reach an agreement?
