Ravens Still Hopeful They Can Reach Extension With Lamar Jackson

Wednesday, March 11, 4:23 PM

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said that they and quarterback Lamar Jackson ran out of time to get a long-term extension done, but he added that the Ravens are "still hopeful to reach an agreement," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The 29-year-old two-time MVP serves as his own agent, which makes things more difficult for the organization. Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract with Baltimore in April of 2023 and restructured his contract on Wednesday to give the Ravens some extra salary cap space to make moves this offseason. Without an extension, Jackson can be an unrestricted free agent after the 2027 season. He battled through injuries and was a disappointment for fantasy managers last year who took him as a high-end QB1, but Jackson is still one of the most dynamic dual-threat QBs in the game and is tied with Aaron Rodgers for the best passer rating (102.2) in NFL history. He also has the record for most career rushing yards (6,522) by a QB.
