OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Less than an hour after the Baltimore Ravens placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson, former Ravens safety Tony Jefferson made a prediction.
“Lamar will be a Raven,” Jefferson tweeted Tuesday. “They’ll let the market dictate his contract. I also believe they’ll match any offer he accepts. Two first-round picks are simply not enough to replace his rare talent and his value to the franchise.”
