NFL Network is reporting that the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens will use the franchise tag on former MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson if an extension cannot be reached. Earlier this offseason there were reports that the two sides were at least $100 million apart in negotiations.
“The Baltimore Ravens will place the franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson if the sides cannot agree to a long-term deal in the coming weeks — and there is a possibility other teams could tempt Baltimore to trade the former NFL MVP for a windfall of draft picks, per sources.” -NFL Network Report
