The Ravens will soon officially join the QB On a Rookie Deal club. Lamar Jackson’s rookie season turned out about as well as the team could have hoped. He got to sit and learn to start the year but also played enough for them to have a comfort level with his readiness to play going forward, allowing them to make an informed decision on when to end the Joe Flacco era. They also got a playoff berth out of the deal.
Obviously, the circumstances are far deeper than that but I’m sure if you told Ravens brass in training camp that this would be the outcome, they’d take it.
