It seems that almost every offseason, especially during the slow period after the draft and before training camp, an annual NFL media tradition is to obsess over the contract status of a prominent quarterback. The two offseason prior to this one, headlines were primarily dominated by if, when, and how big of a deal the Dallas Cowboys would offer their standout signal-caller Dak Prescott.
Now that he is locked up, the hot take and clickbait members of sports media have seemingly turned all of their attention to Baltimore Ravens star quarterback, Lamar Jackson. The team has made it clear that they are willing to pay Jackson whenever he is ready, even though the 25-year-old has said that he is solely focused on the upcoming season.
