Now that training camps have started, the only quarterback situation that remains unresolved is Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> are still not in agreement with a contract extension for the 2019 league MVP. All the other quarterbacks from the 2018 NFL Draft have their situations resolved, whether it’s a new deal (Josh Allen<\/a>) or their teams have moved on (Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold<\/a>, Baker Mayfield<\/a>).<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It’s obvious that the Ravens want to keep Jackson for as long as they want, but they can’t risk getting into his fifth season in the league knowing that he can become a free agent next year. Sure, there’s the franchise tag, but are the Ravens really willing to let Lamar walk into the next offseason without a new deal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The team and the player have been talking about a new deal<\/a> – Jackson does not have an agent and negotiates by his own – but there’s nothing that says they’re close to an extension so far. He seemed to be optimistic talking about it during a recent press conference, but he also made it clear to the team that, once the season begins, there will be no more contract talks. It’s going to be focus on the season and the season only.<\/p>\n
