Lamar Jackson considers waiting on contract negotiations with Ravens
Summary

Lamar Jackson's current contract situation with the Baltimore Ravens remains unresolved as he is set to be a free agent in 2028. Reports suggest Jackson may wait until next offseason to negotiate a new deal, potentially capitalizing on the evolving quarterback market as young QBs become eligible for extensions. The Ravens seek to retain their star quarterback but have made no significant progress in negotiations. Jackson's decision may be influenced by the urgency that the upcoming offseason could bring, prompting quicker negotiations. He could still opt to sign an extension if the Ravens present an attractive offer before then.
