There have been few quarterbacks in the history of the league who have proven themselves as well as Lamar Jackson in his rookie years. The Ravens’ quarterback has gone on to prove himself multiple times throughout the last few years. However, fans had always had an issue with the way he was being compensated by the Ravens. Furthermore, there was a feeling that the management was not gearing up to build a championship team around their star quarterback. However, that might be changing soon.
The Ravens are seemingly going forward with an approach more centered on Jackson’s needs on the field. NFL insider, Josina Anderson, reported some crucial news that soon went viral on Twitter, bringing some hope to the Ravens’ fans.

The Ravens parted ways with their offensive coordinator, Greg Roman. As per Anderson, Roman’s departure has led to Jackson’s opinions being taken into deep consideration. The Ravens are reportedly taking in Jackson’s suggestions for the kind of offensive coordinator who will be hired. Furthermore, the Ravens are also open to taking into the opinions of key players for scouting and recruiting the next OC.
I’m told since the the day after the #Ravens and Greg Roman parted ways, QB Lamar Jackson’s input on the offense from a philosophical and schematic standpoint was folded into the evaluation process for the next OC & communication from key players was welcomed, per league source.
