The AFC North currently does not have any quarterback signed to a long-term contract. That is despite the Baltimore Ravens holding the 2022 rights to Lamar Jackson, the former unanimous MVP in 2019. They are, of course, trying to work on a deal, but nothing is imminent.
Jackson was the 32nd-overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the same year the Cleveland Browns made Baker Mayfield the first. While they both have one playoff win on their resumes, though, Mayfield’s long-term future is bleaker—something he acknowledged yesterday amid reports of his team exploring other options.
The Brown met with Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson yesterday as he figures out which team he wants to play for.
