Ravens Have Had Early Extension Talks With Lamar Jackson

Monday, March 31, 12:02 PM

The Baltimore Ravens have had early contract-extension talks with quarterback Lamar Jackson, and head coach John Harbaugh said that when a deal does get completed, Jackson will become the highest-paid player in NFL history. It's not that big of a surprise after Jackson came close to winning his third MVP award in 2024. The four-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro had another excellent season for the Ravens last year, throwing for a career-high 4,172 yards, career-high 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while also adding 915 rushing yards on 139 attempts for another four touchdowns on the ground. Baltimore's season came to a disappointing end in the Divisional Round in a loss to the Buffalo Bills, but the 28-year-old dual-threat signal-caller was the QB1 overall in fantasy points and should be the first quarterback off the board in fantasy drafts in 2025.

Jalen Milroe Won't be Used in Swiss Army Role

Wednesday, May 28, 1:51 PM

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that rookie third-round quarterback Jalen Milroe will not be used in the same fashion as New Orleans Saints hybrid player Taysom Hill. Sam Darnold is the unquestioned starter under center for the Seahawks entering the 2025 season, and the plan is for Milroe to earn a chance to play in Year 1, according to The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. The 22-year-old's role might become clearer as the team mixed in rookies with veterans during organized team activities this offseason. A two-QB system with specific packages for Milroe will take some time to fine-tune. It remains to be seen what kind of packages Milroe will be involved in, but they could be in red-zone and short-yardage situations. Either way, Milroe isn't going to have much fantasy value in redraft leagues as the backup to Darnold in 2025.
