Lamar Jackson Rumors: Ravens 'Hopeful' for Long-Term Contract Ahead of NFL Draft 2023

The Baltimore Ravens remain "hopeful that they can get a long-term deal done" with free-agent star Lamar Jackson, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fowler said Sunday on SportsCenter that general manager Eric DeCosta has maintained a dialogue with Jackson. Still, the situation remains fluid:

"There's been that big financial gulf between the team and the player. After the draft could be interesting because if a team strikes out on the quarterback front and doesn't get the guy they want in the first round, they could put an offer sheet or try to swing a trade with Baltimore.
