Lamar Jackson Standoff Looms Over Ravens as Team Treads Water
The two-time MVP missed his third straight game.
Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson's push for a new contract is temporarily put on hold due to his ongoing injury. With the two-time league MVP sidelined, the team failed to secure a crucial victory against the Bengals, falling 35-13 and dropping their record to 4-3. The standoff over Jackson's contract extension, which was not agreed upon before the season, intensifies as he enters the final season of his five-year, $260 million deal.
Jackson, who represents himself, could potentially become the first NFL player with a contract worth $70 million per season. The Ravens, led by new head coach Jesse Minter, are now focusing on regrouping and aiming for their first Super Bowl with Jackson in the starting lineup.
