The Baltimore Ravens have finally agreed terms with star quarterback Lamar Jackson following a contract standoff.
Jackson, 26, revealed last month that he requested a trade away from the Ravens after contract negotiations stalled, with the player hoping to collect a mega guaranteed deal. And so the Ravens put a non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, meaning he could negotiate with other NFL franchises, but Baltimore would have the opportunity to match what’s on the table.
Well, the Ravens won’t have to worry about matching their rivals’ cash offer to Jackson, as they’ve finally agreed terms with the one-time MVP. Jackson and the Ravens have reached an agreement in principle over a new five-year deal.
