The Baltimore Ravens are trying to give quarterback Lamar Jackson a buttload of money. The 2019 MVP is taking his sweet time when it comes to negotiating a new deal, currently set to enter the fifth year of his rookie contract. Owner Steve Bisciotti even expressed some pessimism that Jackson would sit down to the table before the start of the season.
But he has no hesitation in handing the money over. On any front. Speaking to reporters last week, he even confronted the narrative that mobile quarterbacks are more prone to injury, a particularly relevant one given that Jackson missed the final five games of the regular season as the Ravens went from being a division leader to missing the postseason altogether with a losing record.
