EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With a bag of popcorn in one hand and a milkshake in the other, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on Sept. 14 told reporters with a smirk that he would no longer discuss negotiations of his new contract. Before the start of the regular season, he and the team’s front office agreed to table talks until the next off-season.
“Respectfully, I’m really done talking about it,” Jackson said.
On Wednesday, standing at his locker at the Giants facility, quarterback Daniel Jones gave a similar response when assessing his looming contract extension.
“I don’t think it was ever really my focus to prove to people one way or the other,” Jones said.
