“Nobody Is Taking”: NFL Fans Think the End Is Near for Lamar Jackson as Ravens Deal Takes a Rocky Turn

The Lamar Jackson situation hangs in a very delicate balance at the moment. Jackson is still holding out for the contract he wants and Ravens won’t budge either. So currently the situation is tense. And a new decision by the franchise means that the deal has taken a rocky turn.

With the new development, the fans think that the end of Jackson as the Ravens QB is nearing with each passing day. But what is the franchise plan regarding the QB?

Is it the end of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore?

Lamar Jackson is out of contract in a few days and will become an unrestricted free agent soon. And according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Ravens might just use a ‘non-exclusive’ franchise tag on the QB going forward. That will allow the Ravens to see if anyone is interested in Jackson’s services. If any other franchise does offer the QB a contract, the Ravens will have an option to match it. And if they don’t, then they will get two first-round draft picks.

The fans think it is over between Jackson and the franchise. While many think that the Ravens might have got more compensation for the QB, some are of the opinion that it is a good move. Here are some fan reactions.

Another fan wants to know if the two first rounders will be for this season’s draft or the next.

This fan is looking for three first round picks for Jackson, like the Cleveland Browns.

Another fan wonders if the Ravens really think that nobody is going to pay Jackson what he wants.

But this fan thinks that no team will take the QB for two first-rounders.

Another fan thinks it is a smart play by the Ravens on the Jackson situation.

Jackson wants a fully guaranteed contract like the one the Browns gave Deshaun Watson. But is it too much to ask in the QB market at the moment?

The contract conundrum

When the Browns signed Deshaun Watson on an insane contract, it looked like that they broke the QB market. They gave their new QB a huge contract with guaranteed money. And the Ravens are currently feeling the heat of that deal.

The 2019 NFL MVP wants something similar to Watson’s $230 million fully guaranteed contract. The Ravens’ best offer till date is $133 million guaranteed. And many fans think that Jackson is an injury risk, so the guaranteed money is a risk. But Jackson has established himself as a great QB over the years. And many experts also believe that the franchise should pay him what he wants. Will he get what he wants in Baltimore, or will he go somewhere else?
