reportedly don’t even want to flirt with Jackson? The NFL is never so transparently uninterested in an exceptional talent. It’s diabolical behavior intended to harass Jackson for valuing himself fully and scare Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow or any other young franchise quarterback who dreams of a contract free of funny money.
“There have been many instances across the league and in Baltimore when a player has been designated with the franchise tag and signed a long-term deal that same year,” Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement Tuesday. “We will continue to negotiate in good faith with Lamar, and we are hopeful that we can strike a long-term deal that is fair to both Lamar and the Ravens. Our ultimate goal is to build a championship team with Lamar Jackson leading the way for many years to come.
With a .738 winning percentage in 61 starts, Jackson has enjoyed one of the most successful beginnings to a career in NFL history. And he has done it his way. In 70 career games, he has been a solid passer who has posted a 96.7 rating with 101 touchdowns and 38 interceptions. But he’s the most prolific quarterback runner ever. He has two 1,000-yard seasons. He has averaged 63.4 rushing yards per game.
