Lamar Jackson is ready to leave the Baltimore Ravens despite the superstar quarterback reportedly removing a roadblock by asking for less fully-guaranteed money in any long-term contract.
Since the start of free agency, quarterback Lamar Jackson has been able to speak with other NFL teams after he received the non-exclusive franchise tag from the Ravens. The tag would see Baltimore pay him the average of the salaries of the position over the previous campaigns if he stays with the franchise in 2023.
The Ravens would ultimately be able to match or surpass the rival’s contract offer - or decide to ship Jackson in exchange for two first round picks. Ultimately, the 26-year-old simply wants to get paid after he played for just $1.77million in 2021 and $23.016m last season.
