BALTIMORE — At the 2023 NFL scouting combine, the biggest question concerning the Ravens can be measured not in seconds or pounds, but in dollars.
Scouts, coaches, prospects and media descended upon Lucas Oil Stadium this week to watch future draft picks weigh in and compete in drills such as the 40-yard dash, bench press and vertical jump. But for the Ravens, the most essential topic remains their financial future with star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens, who currently have five picks in April’s draft, are likely to select at least one wide receiver and probably a cornerback, too. But as they scout the more than 300 prospects in Indianapolis this week, the contract status of the only NFL Most Valuable Player in franchise history remains in limbo and on top of the minds of Ravens fans.
