Looks like the Baltimore Ravens pulled off a stunningly brilliant move. After days of continuous back and forth between the Ravens executives and Lamar Jackson, no common ground could be found. Frustrated, the Ravens’ front office decided to go along with something no one could have anticipated. The franchise put Lamar Jackson under its non-exclusive franchise tag, allowing the star quarterback to test free agency. Jackson is free to talk to any and every team, and the Ravens would have to either match the offer or reject it.

In a surprising turn of events, not a single team has come forward with the intention of stealing Lamar Jackson from the Ravens. Sounds ludicrous to even say this, but Lamar Jackson has no offers- zilch, nada. Every team lining up for Jackson has mysteriously backed out from the game. Fans as well as NFL analysts are dumbstruck at the ongoing chaos surrounding Lamar Jackson, and no one can make any sense of the matter.

As per the Ravens’ wish, they intend to offer Lamar Jackson a contract ranging from $160 million to $180 million in guaranteed money. Jackson however disagrees and believes he is worth much more. Recently, Deshaun Watson signed a five-year $230 Million contract, all fully guaranteed. Ever since then, Jackson has been hellbent on securing a similar deal for himself, hence the inception of the conflict.

While many believe Watson’s deal managed to mess up the entire QB market, others believe it to be a good thing. With Lamar Jackson thrown to the wolves, it is yet to be seen if the unanimous MVP decides to stay with the Ravens or put on a different uniform.
