Earlier this month, the Baltimore Ravens officially placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on star quarterback Lamar Jackson after failing to work out a contract extension with the former MVP once again. The move would allow any team in the league to talk to Jackson and give him an offer sheet, but it’s not looking like that’s going to happen.
So far, there has been no news that a team might be interested in giving Lamar Jackson an offer sheet and NFL insider Peter King said that “not a soul” is discussing the potential of Jackson getting an offer sheet from another team at the NFL League Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona this week.
“Day 12 of Lamar Jackson on the rested free-agent market, and no news is bad news. Not a soul here is even whispering about the prospect of Jackson getting an offer sheet, and there’s no sign of talks between the Ravens and Jackson to try to rekindle contract discussions,” King wrote in his Football Morning in America column. “All I can say is the Ravens had better, deep in the back of their pragmatic minds, start to consider veteran alternatives—and maybe even the rookie second- and third-round QB market.”
It’s certainly a concerning update for Jackson. We’ll have to see how this situation continues to develop.
