Ravens Fans Rejoice After Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson Makes A Move Defining His Maturity Despite Overdue Contract Extension

The Baltimore Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson received a lot of flack this offseason. Jackson missed the voluntary OTAs stirring up rumors across the NFL community. His contract situation has been an ongoing debate, but a lot of senior quarterbacks also opt out of the voluntary OTAs. However, he quashed the rumors by appearing at the mandatory minicamp.

As the contract negotiations are underway, the QB seems to be focused on his work ethic and his game. Jackson reported to Under Armour Performance Center on the first day for QBs and injured veterans to report. It looks like the fuss around contract extension is not bothering the Ravens’ QB.

Media chatter about Jackson holding out was making a whirlwind during the minicamp. When asked about the chances of sitting out if the contracts weren’t done, the unanimous MVP said, “We’re having conversations about it. I don’t know.”

In addition, the QB is hoping to have a blockbuster season with the Ravens after putting on more muscle in the offseason. He ended up missing the last season because of an ankle injury. He couldn’t do anything about the Ravens falling out of the playoff run.

His contract woes have been revolving in the media for a long time and the QB is looking to settle it once and for all.
