“That Doesn’t Fit Him”: Baltimore Legend Ray Lewis Splashes Distressing Words on Lamar Jackson Situation Amidst Contract Standoff With Ravens

Throughout the season, Lamar Jackson played with the Baltimore Ravens with no certainty about his future. Now that the season ended for the Ravens, the team’s QB and the team will have to come to an agreement over his contract extension. Fans and many analysts believed that the team should definitely extend the contract of the Heisman Trophy winner. The legendary Hall of Famer Ray Lewis believes the same.

The two-time Super Bowl champion appeared on an episode of ‘Inside the NFL’. There, he answered some important questions related to the 26-year-old shot-caller. He gave his opinions about the situation that Jackson is experiencing with the franchise and also revealed what the team and the QB1 need to win games.

Lamar Jackson is lacking something very important according to the former Baltimore legend

According to Lewis, all that the 2018 first-round pick needs is help. And that help will come in the form of a skillful and talented wide receiver. Jackson needs a fiery receiver who will help him perform better. As per the linebacker, the team did not provide him with a powerful receiver who will enable him to throw explosively down the field.

“Lamar Jackson is a rock star but the offense that he’s been playing in the past three or four years, with Greg Roman as offensive coordinator, that doesn’t fit him,” Lewis said. “It fits him because he has to be Superman. He has to make five people miss,” he added.

Because Rashad Bateman got injured, he played with guys like Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, Devin Duvernay, and James Porche. And was only left with one 1,000-yard WR, Marquise Brown. Even though his trustworthy target, Mark Andrews, plays with him, Lewis felt like the team does not offer him the opportunity to be multi-dimensional. He said, “We need pieces around Lamar Jackson.”

Jackson could not take part in the final six games, including the playoff game against the Bengals. He suffered from a sprained PCL. Similarly, his last two seasons also ended with injuries. In 12 games, Jackson passed for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. And now that the offseason has begun and his rookie contract has ended, it will be interesting to see where the young QB will land.
