Lamar Jackson Says He Won’t Negotiate In-Season, But Optimistic New Deal Will Get Done

There is no ‘hold-in’ in Baltimore for quarterback Lamar Jackson as he slowly but surely attempts to iron out a contract extension with the Ravens, one that on the outside it doesn’t appear he has necessarily been all that eager to bring to fruition this offseason.

The former MVP reported to camp on time and has been a typical participant on the field. He spoke to reporters yesterday, saying that negotiations are occurring between himself and general manager Eric DeCosta when the two have “mutual free time”, according to Jamison Hensley for ESPN.

Interestingly, he also said that while he believes that a deal will get done, he will not let it drag on into the regular season.
