The Baltimore Ravens selected quarterback Lamar Jackson with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Since then, he has gone on to flourish and turn into a star, winning the MVP unanimously in 2019 as well as breaking numerous records. - Jackson is slated to play on the fifth-year option in 2022, and is eligible to sign a contract extension. On Saturday, Jackson responded to a fan that said they saw something about Baltimore getting rid of Jackson, and the quarterback made it clear that such a move by the team would hurt his feelings. - - That’ll hurt my feelings - — Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) March 19, 2022 - - - Media members and fans have speculated about the future of Jackson due to a lack of a long-term contract to this point. However, there have been absolutely zero concrete reports from reputable sources about the Ravens getting rid of the quarterback. In fact, general manager Eric DeCosta has expressed his desire to have the former University of Louisville star in Baltimore for a long, long time. - Jackson’s tweet is seemingly showing that he wants to stay with the organization that took a chance on him and believed in him. He’s also said as much during press conferences with the media. - It appears that the quarterback is waiting out others at his position signing their deals first, including Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson and Matthew Stafford. Just because Jackson hasn’t signed an extension yet doesn’t mean his career as a Raven will be coming to an end soon. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Ravens Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Ravens Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
