Lamar Jackson wants a new fully guaranteed contract, but the Ravens still can’t fully guarantee he will be on the roster next season.
About two years into “a tough negotiation” with the 2019 NFL MVP, general manager Eric DeCosta said that the Ravens still are preparing for every possible outcome, which seems to include both types of franchise tag, a trade and the preference of finding mutual ground on an extension among the “four, five or six” different scenarios under consideration.
Head coach John Harbaugh spends “as little [time] as possible” thinking about life without Jackson, should contract talks break down.before settling on Todd Monken“He’s my quarterback, he’s my guy, I love him,” Harbaugh said. “It’s never easy, but I’m fervently hopeful and can’t wait for it to get done.”Getty Images
“We met recently,” DeCosta said. “It’s an ongoing discussion. We both understand the urgency of the situation. It’s been a good dialogue. I continue to be optimistic. We’ll see where it goes.”Only the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers makes more than $50 million per year on average. Representing himself without an agent like recently re-signed teammate Roquan Smith, Jackson is being advised by the NFL Players Association not to budge in his demand for a fully guaranteed contract like the one the Browns gave to Deshaun Watson last season, according to ESPN.
