Only negotiations toward a landmark contract stand between the Baltimore Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson being mutually committed to a long-term relationship.
Jackson can become an unrestricted free agent in March after attempts by general manager Eric DeCosta and owner Steve Bisciotti fell short of the former NFL MVP's expectations.
But head coach John Harbaugh and DeCosta said Thursday that the Ravens are fully committed to Jackson and growing the offense around his unique skillset.
"Eric wants him here, I want him here, Steve wants him here, and Lamar wants to be here. It's gonna work out," Harbaugh said Thursday.
