Lamar Jackson has seen the non-exclusive franchise tag placed on him by the Baltimore Ravens, meaning he will be offered a contract by another NFL team.
After lots of speculation regarding what the Ravens will do with Jackson, they've finally made their decision by using the non-exclusive tag. The tag means that Jackson is permitted to sign an offer sheet with another team, and then the Ravens can either match their offer and either keep him or opt for a trade.
Jackson turned down a five-year £208.5m ($250m) deal with the Ravens last season, a contract that would have seen him make a guaranteed £111m ($133m). Jackson clearly feels as though he is worth more than what the franchise initially offered, and will now wait to see what figures come his way.
