OWINGS MILLS (Md. — Quarterback Lamar Jackson Set Friday as the deadline for him to suspend negotiations regarding a contract extension. Baltimore Ravens.
Jackson, after Wednesday’s practice, said that Jackson was still talking. “The week is not over yet.”
Jackson would not reveal if the sides are closer to a deal now than they were a few weeks back.
Jackson stated, “I don’t know.” Jackson said, “You need to ask the man who I am talking to. Talk to the GM [Ravens’ Eric DeCosta] About that.
DeCosta is yet to speak with reporters regarding Jackson’s contract situation, since May at the end.
Jackson will be playing under his fifth-year option worth $23.016 million if there is no agreement within the next few days. Three franchise quarterbacks have signed guarantees of more than $165million this year.
Jackson was asked if he believes it’s risky to play with no guarantee money beyond this season.
Jackson said, “It was quite a risk last season. Jackson explained that Jackson had said the same thing last year. Jackson said, “I’m just playing soccer. It’s possible for anything to happen. God forbid that something bad happens.
Jackson announced last month that he would suspend negotiations on a contract before the start the regular season. It’s not surprising, considering Jackson is the only player in the NFL who is representing himself. DeCosta cannot negotiate with Jackson, according to league rules.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey Jackson’s contract situation was not a distraction since the former NFL MVP doesn’t speak about it.
Humphrey stated that “Nobody really knows what is going on.”
Steve Bisciotti, Ravens’ owner, stated in March that Deshaun Wilson’s $230M fully guaranteed contract with Browns was a problem for future negotiations with quarterbacks.
Watson has signed two agreements with franchise quarterbacks, and neither of them have come even close to Watson in terms guaranteed money. Kyler Murray ($189.5 million). Russell Wilson Watson’s deal could also be worth ($165 million), which could indicate that Watson is not an ordinary case.
Humphrey expressed optimism regarding Jackson’s signing with Baltimore.
Humphrey said, “I have absolutely no doubt that he will be here throughout his entire career.”
Jackson had already acknowledged Friday as the deadline for talks. He was then asked if he would continue negotiations until the season-opening kickoff. New York Jets.
“[At] Jackson stated that kickoff is not about a contract. “I think straight Jets,” Jackson said.
