The free-agent market for quarterback Lamar Jackson has been relatively underwhelming for a player of his caliber so far.
Jackson didn’t get the exclusive franchise tag — worth $45 million — from his team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Instead, Baltimore opted for the nonexclusive tag which would put Jackson’s salary for next season around $32 million.
By going with the nonexclusive tag, the Ravens have allowed other teams to negotiate with Jackson. If Jackson agrees to a deal with another team, the team would have to surrender a pair of first-round picks to Baltimore.
