Although Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to the team for this week's mandatory minicamp after skipping voluntary practices, there's reportedly "not a lot of optimism" the sides will agree on a contract extension before the 2022 season.
ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported Wednesday the Ravens "hope" Jackson's return to the team facilities can spark conversations, but so far the 2019 NFL MVP has "yet to engage" the front office in contract talks.
Despite the lack of long-term certainty, a potential blockbuster trade involving the 2018 first-round pick is "not on the radar" for Baltimore, per Hensley.
