The Ravens signed quarterback Lamar Jackson to a contract extension last week after a back-and-forth negotiation process that left the star’s future in Baltimore in doubt.
Now, Jackson has a new five-year deal that comes on the heels of the team placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on him, which allowed the quarterback to negotiate a deal with other teams in exchange for two first-round picks if Baltimore didn’t match the opposing teams’ offer sheet.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told ProFootballTalk on Wednesday that he was pleased to work something out with Jackson.
