Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson creates an intriguing situation just before the regular season begins. The athlete has kept the contract negotiations on a halt and looks like he is enjoying the offseason. The athlete has been a virtuoso performer but has been dealing with a couple of injuries in the past. However, this has halted no sort of praise for his play-calling techniques. The recent was Emmanuel Sanders, who made a sparkling connection between him with Tom Brady.

Jackson, 25, is now entering his fifth-year choice in his current agreement. Bargaining on a long-term deal has been stagnated, and it’s unclear if Jackson intends to leave the team in the offseason. If the two sides cannot agree on an extended term by next spring, Baltimore will have to use the franchise tag to prevent Jackson from being a free agent.

The uncanny Tom Brady comparison by Emmanuel Sanders

Emmanuel Sanders appears at the NFL’s Good Morning Football alongside hosts Jane Slater, Kyle Brandt, and Peter Schrager. As they discuss the Ravens’ revival, Stefon Diggs’ deal, Lions’ drafting tactics, Mathieu Alternatives, and Sanders’ history. During the episode, they also address Lamar Jackson’s uncertain fate. Sanders equates Lamar Jackson to Tom Brady, one of the top quarterbacks in League history.

Emmanuel mentions, “Lamar Jackson is a guy, a quarterback, a player, that went like, he’s feared around the NFL. I remember Kyle Shanahan coming to the room, and I never heard a coach, or I never heard a team more scared than a player, Besides Lamar Jackson and Tom Brady in 2015, when we were playing against them. Lamar Jackson is a bad man.”

This is a considerable contrast from Sanders’ performance last season when the Ravens were missing their top quarterback for a significant stretch of the season. Tyler Huntley, who did his duty, was mediocre. Huntley finishes the final 5 matches after Jackson missed the rest of the season.

While Lamar Jackson is recovering from an injury, it doesn’t hold back a massive return for him. The Ravens will look for a massive return in the upcoming campaign. Lamar Jackson’s bone bruise injury has made the return of the quarterback questionable, but not inevitable. Although the team might need some wide receiver help, it looks like Jackson is taking care of it.

While the Seahawks want to keep DK Metcalf, Lamar Jackson has been working to get the exceptional wide receiver to Baltimore. The Ravens need to get a No. 1 target to help bolster the corps, despite having a pair of rookie WRs in the mix.

While Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore executive office don’t appear to be the kind to make a big impact on a receiver, they might not need it. Metcalf would undoubtedly improve the Ravens’ passing attack for several years, possibly giving Jackson a favorite new weapon.
