In a rare situation for a team with a young franchise quarterback, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens enter the offseason with the 26-year-old former MVP set to hit unrestricted free agency. The two sides have been negotiating a deal for over a year, but so far they’ve been unable to reach an agreement.
While his recent string of late-season injuries present a concern for Baltimore, Jackson is expected to be near the top of the market for quarterbacks when he signs a deal. His top target, tight end Mark Andrews, believes he’s worth every penny—even more than a four-time MVP and Super Bowl winner like Aaron Rodgers.
Andrews hopped on Von Miller’s podcast, and the two were effervescent in their praise of Jackson, comparing him favorably to the Packers star, who will make around $50 million per year over the next three years with his current contract.
