The Ravens' 2023 offseason will be a fascinating one, with major decisions looming.
Here are the top storylines entering the offseason:
What happens with Lamar Jackson?
This is at the top of the list. Jackson has played out his rookie contract. Now the Ravens will need to place the franchise tag on him or reach a long-term deal (or both), for Jackson to be their quarterback next season and/or beyond. The only other avenue would be to tag and trade their star, because he's not going to hit the open free-agent market.
If the Ravens place the franchise tag on Jackson by the March 7 deadline, they will have to choose whether it's an exclusive or non-exclusive tag.
