Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will not reach an agreement on a contract extension before their season begins this week, the team announced Friday, but Baltimore still expects Jackson to remain its quarterback long term.
Jackson set a Friday deadline for negotiations with Baltimore on a deal before shutting them down to play out the season. Early Friday morning, general manager Eric DeCosta revealed that the team and quarterback couldn’t reach a deal.
When speaking to reporters on Friday, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh explained that he still views Jackson as Baltimore’s franchise quarterback.
