Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have finally agreed on a contract extension. Jackson and the team have been going back and forth for a while on a new contract. However, according to Ian Rapoport, the deal is finally done between Jackson and the Ravens. Baltimore fans have long been waiting to hear the news that Jackson is staying with the franchise. Now, it looks like they are finally getting their wish.
Jackson is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. The former league MVP knows what it takes to see success in the league. However, the past two seasons have been less than ideal for the Ravens star. Jackson has had to deal with injuries that have ended his seasons earlier. But Jackson is hopeful that the 2023 regular season will see the Heisman winner back to his dominant ways. The Ravens have put more trust in Jackson with the team's other off-season moves.
Lamar Jackson Staying In Baltimore Long Term
The Ravens have also added Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The addition of Beckham seemed to be a sign that the team wanted to keep Jackson. However, Jackson never showed his hand along the way. The Ravens official Twitter account just announced the deal with Jackson is for five years. However, the finances of the deal have yet to be announced. One has to think Jackson saw the dollar signs that he was hoping to see. Especially after Jalen Hurts' mega deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The long sage of Jackson and the Ravens is officially over. The parties got a deal done just before the start of the 2023 NFL Draft. According to other reports this week, there were still teams in the league looking into acquiring Jackson. However, that will no longer be the case. Now Jackson will look to prove the Ravens made the right choice in agreeing to terms with the QB. Do you believe the Ravens made the right move bringing back Lamar Jackson?
