Lamar Jackson Rumors: Ravens QB Not 'In Any Rush at All' to Sign New Contract

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has one year remaining on his current deal, isn't "in any rush at all" to sign a new contract, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Thursday.

"There's a couple reasons. We have seen, and this is just my read on the situation from all the information I know, we've seen players, Kirk Cousins is one, Dak Prescott is another, use the franchise tag and the sort of shoulder shrug of 'maybe I'm not quite ready to do a deal yet' to use it as a weapon to maximize their contract leverage.
