Arguably the most significant, and perhaps also the most interesting storyline of the offseason is the near future of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. While it’s inevitable that the organization will at least place the franchise tag on him, it feels increasingly uncertain where he will be playing in 2023.
According to reports from ESPN, Jackson, who serves as his own agent, has met all of the Ravens’ contract offers with counteroffers that exceeded, both in total value and guaranteed money, the five-year, $230 million fully-guaranteed contract the Cleveland Browns gave Deshaun Watson a year ago.
And the offers he was countering reportedly never exceeded $133 million in fully guaranteed salary.
