“Not we’ll negotiate when he’s ready,” noted another Baltimore fan. “We’ll PAY him when he’s ready. That’s the clearest sign we’ll ever get the Ravens plan to keep Lamar here for a long long time.”

Lamar Jackson is coming off a bit of a down year after running away with MVP honors two seasons prior. Injuries and illness really hurt the electric QB in 2021; and really the Ravens roster as a whole.
The two-time Pro Bowler will look to bounce back in a big way come 2022.
