One NFL agent believes Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is making a mistake trying to negotiate a new deal without representation, though he did commend his patience.
"He's trying to negotiate a contract in riddles," the agent told Ben Standig of The Athletic. "He's not just being direct and saying what he wants to say. He has no one driving the ship for him right now."
Jackson is heading into the final year of his current contract, and he told reporters he will stop negotiations at the start of the regular season.
The 25-year-old has already won an MVP during his first four seasons, earning two Pro Bowl selections while leading the team to a 37-12 regular-season record in his starts.
