Back in June, when Lamar Jackson finally addressed the mystery surrounding his languishing contract talks with the Baltimore Ravens, he suggested the most jaw-dropping pact in NFL history — the extension between Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns — had no bearing on his situation. “I’m a man of my own,” Jackson said. “I don’t worry about what those guys get.” On Friday, Jackson became a man on his own. No contract extension with the Ravens. No guaranteed money beyond 2022…. Source link

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens will head into the final season of his rookie contract without a contract extension, an impasse that amounts to one of the biggest gambles in NFL history by both a franchise and an NFL player. The two sides failed to reach terms on a new deal by Friday, missing a deadline that Jackson set earlier this week. It means the Ravens’ franchise quarterback will now play through the fifth-year option on his rookie deal, earning just over $23 million for the 2022… Source link

If the Baltimore Ravens want to lock up Lamar Jackson before he becomes a free agent, the team will have to act quickly. Jackson implied Saturday he will cut off negotiations with the Ravens once the regular season begins. [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Jackson was asked whether he had a deadline for getting an extension done. He replied, “Yeah, we coming up to it. It’s coming up. Season’s coming up. We’re going to be good for the season.” Jackson said he… Source link

Last we heard from Lamar Jackson, he was keeping his contract negotiations with the Baltimore Ravens “private” and drama-free. He told reporters he expected to finish his career in Baltimore and wouldn’t take into consideration the ridiculous $230 million contract the Cleveland Browns handed Deshaun Watson despite numerous sexual assault allegations. That was over a month ago, though, and no new information has surfaced since. But some clues on social media could signal frustrations from… Source link

Baltimore Ravens fans shouldn’t be overly concerned about Lamar Jackson missing voluntary OTAs. Jackson hit back at critics Friday, implying they are making too big a deal about Jackson’s absence. Jackson specifically called out Pro Football Talk analyst — and former NFL quarterback — Chris Simms, who criticized Jackson for skipping voluntary OTAs. Simms compared Jackson to Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who Simms claims never missed OTAs until winning multiple Super… Source link

It’s been a rough offseason for MVP quarterbacks. Now you can add Baltimore Ravens centerpiece Lamar Jackson to that list. Jackson lost his No. 1 wideout during Thursday’s draft, as the team shipped Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for the 23rd overall pick. That means the last three league MVPs have now had their top receiver traded away this offseason, with Jackson joining the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers (who lost Davante Adams) and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Source link

Antonio Brown revealed on the ‘I am Athlete’ podcast that he’d like to play with Lamar Jackson, and the Baltimore Ravens QB responded in kind. Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski revealed he’d be open to keep playing even if Tom Brady retires. And Philadelphia 76ers PG Ben Simmons probably isn’t going anywhere before the NBA Trade Deadline. Though a move in the offseason for Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden isn’t out of the question.

Antonio Brown wants to play with Lamar Jackson. The sentiment seems mutual.  Three weeks after very publicly quitting his job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown was busy lobbying for his next gig on Monday. The veteran receiver made his pitch on the “I am athlete” podcast, telling Brandon Marshall that he wants to play with the Baltimore Ravens quarterback. “Lamar Jackson,” Brown said when asked who’s next. “Action Jackson. Let’s give Lamar Jackson his flowers. … Lamar Jackson is a great… Source link

The pair spent Friday taking part in the most present of trends, a celebrity boxing match. To the surprise of few, the bout ended with the 6-foot-10 man beating up the man who is not 6-foot-10, with Odom defeating Carter via second-round TKO.  The footage of the fight is, um, bleak: Odom’s strategy for the fight… Source link
