Source Node: 1997846

The Baltimore Ravens have made a major move to ensure that their star quarterback Lamar Jackson will remain with the team for the 2021 season. On March 9th, the Ravens assigned the non-exclusive franchise tag to Jackson, which will guarantee him a one-year contract worth $23.2 million. This move ensures that Jackson will remain with the Ravens for at least one more season and gives the team time to work out a long-term deal.

Jackson has been a key part of the Ravens’ success since he was drafted in 2018. He has led the team to two playoff appearances and an AFC North division title in 2019. He has also been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player twice, in 2019 and 2020. His impressive play has made him one of the most dynamic players in the league and has earned him a place among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.

The non-exclusive franchise tag allows other teams to negotiate with Jackson, but the Ravens have the right to match any offer that he receives. If they choose not to match an offer, they will receive two first-round draft picks from the team that signs him. This makes it unlikely that Jackson will be leaving Baltimore anytime soon.

The Ravens have made it clear that they want to keep Jackson for the long haul and this move is a sign of their commitment to him. With the non-exclusive franchise tag, they can continue to negotiate a long-term deal while ensuring that he remains with the team for at least one more season. This move is sure to be welcomed by Ravens fans, as it ensures that their star quarterback will remain with the team for at least one more season.

The Baltimore Ravens have made a smart move by assigning the non-exclusive franchise tag to Lamar Jackson. This move ensures that he will remain with the team for at least one more season and gives them time to work out a long-term deal. It is clear that the Ravens are committed to keeping Jackson in Baltimore and this move shows that they are willing to do whatever it takes to keep him with the team.
