Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Easton Stick

Monday, April 6, 4:44 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was present for the start of the team's offseason program on Monday. Jackson is coming off an injury-plagued and disappointing 2025 campaign for Baltimore, and he's also looking to get a head start after a regime change to new head coach Jesse Minter and new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. The four-time Pro Bowler and two-time MVP appears to be in good standing with the front office as they work towards a contract extension with two years currently remaining on the five-year, $260 million contract he signed with the Ravens in April of 2023. Jackson played in only 13 games in 2025, throwing for 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while rushing for 349 yards and two touchdowns on a career-low 67 rushing attempts. If the 29-year-old can put his lower-body injuries behind him in 2026, he'll be a clear bounce-back candidate with high-end QB1 potential. Jackson is still one of the most lethal dual-threat signal-callers in the NFL.
