The Ravens, who have balked at giving Jackson the fully guaranteed deal he’s been seeking in the wake of Watson’s contract, might be forced to decide if it’s worth it, or say farewell to their franchise quarterback and unanimous NFL MVP in 2019.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti knew at the NFL annual meeting last March that Deshaun Watson’s $230 million contract from the Browns — the first fully guaranteed pact in the history of the NFL — could cause problems with Lamar Jackson, and now he stands to possibly lose him less than a year later.
The Ravens on Tuesday applied the nonexclusive franchise tag to Jackson worth a guaranteed $32.4 million for 2023, meaning he can begin talking to other teams on Monday when the pre-negotiating period opens. If he signs an offer sheet, the Ravens would have a chance to match it. If not, the new team must give Baltimore two first-round picks.
