With distractions seemingly gone, how will Lamar Jackson perform?
Jackson may not have gotten everything he wanted this offseason, but he sure got plenty. The Ravens made him the highest-paid player in the league with a five-year, $260 million contract extension. They upgraded the wide receiver room, signing veterans Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor and using a first-round pick on Zay Flowers. They replaced a run-oriented Roman with Monken, who has vowed to give Jackson more control of Baltimore’s offense.
If he remains healthy, the stage is set for Jackson to have a strong bounce-back year and thrive in an offense that is more in line with the type of attack he wants to lead.
