The heartbeat of the Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson‘s presence on the field has proven to be a cornerstone of the team’s success. With a record that speaks volumes, 45 wins against 16 losses when he plays, compared to a stark 8-13 when sidelined. Jackson’s influence is undeniable. His resilience, particularly in the face of adversity, has been a key factor in the Ravens’ formidable performance.

However, the shadow of injury always looms, raising the question of what would the impact be if Jackson were to face another setback. As we delve into recent events, including a tense moment in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the implications of Jackson’s health on the Ravens’ future become a focal point.

Lamar Jackson manages to get back on the field despite an injury

Lamar Jackson’s impact on the Baltimore Ravens is evident through the team’s performance with and without him. Their record stands at impressive scores due to his presence and the scores suffer whenever he?s not there. This was notably highlighted last season. Jackson’s ankle injury in Week 13 led to a 0-5 run, halting their streak of three consecutive playoff appearances.

His ability to bounce back and continue playing is a testament to his dedication and importance to the Ravens. But all this will be of no use to the player if he doesn?t get what he wants. Speculation regarding his signing deal continues as the time rolls.

Negotiating Lamar Jackson’s future amidst rising stakes

The future of Jackson with the Ravens hangs in the balance as contract negotiations continue. Jackson, nearing free agency, seems to be aiming for a deal that mirrors Deshaun Watson’s lucrative $230 million contract with the Browns. His deal included an unprecedented fully guaranteed sum.

The Ravens are keen to secure Jackson long-term, so they have already floated substantial offers. Yet, their terms have not met Jackson’s expectations, particularly regarding guaranteed money. With the exclusive franchise tag as a potential interim solution, the impasse raises the possibility of trade talks.

This would definitely demand a high return, likely involving multiple first-round picks. What do you think of Jackson?s expectations? Are they valid? Let us know in the comments section below.
