Jackson came to the Ravens as a first-round pick in the 2018 draft. Since then, he has established himself as one of the best dual-threat QBs in the league. But his world turned upside down as he hit a wall in the contract extension negotiations with the Ravens. But how did it all come to this?

The seismic offseason 

The Ravens and Lamar Jackson have been on the negotiation table since the end of the 2021 season. But both parties haven’t been able to chalk out an agreement to increase his stint with the franchise. Many reports suggest that Jackson wants a big chunk of his contract to be guaranteed money. However, the QB and the Ravens differ on the amount of guaranteed money.

According to reports, Jackson is looking for compensation at par with division rival Deshaun Watson. The Ravens did offer him a contract with a sizable amount of guaranteed money but the QB rejected the offer. And then, he dropped a bombshell by requesting a trade away from the franchise.

So, is Jackson finally getting the contract that he wishes for? Will the Ravens keep him for another year in absence of any trade deal that gives them two future first-round draft picks? It will be interesting to see what’s in store for the 2019 league MVP.
