As negotiations for a contract extensions continue, Lamar Jackson told reporters that the deadline for him and the team to come to an agreement on a contract extension is Friday.
When Jackson was asked if he feels like he is closer to a deal than he was before, he said, “I have no clue. You have to ask the guy who I’m talking to.”
Jackson is one of the few players in the NFL who doesn’t have an agent and represents himself during negotiations, making this storyline all the more significant since he’s talking directly to team management. Being one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL, the fact that he and the team have yet to reach a deal has become a significant storyline.
