Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been representing himself in contract negotiations, which reportedly may be among the biggest reasons why he and the Ravens have yet to reach an agreement.
According to Mike Jones and Mike Sando of The Athletic, some agents and people within the NFL believe Jackson would likely already have a deal done with the Ravens if he had an agent.
Some NFL teams reportedly believe the NFL Players Association is advising Jackson and pushing him to stand firm on wanting a fully guaranteed contract in the same vein as the one Deshaun Watson signed with the Cleveland Browns last year.
