Ravens delay extension talks with Lamar Jackson until 2027

The Baltimore Ravens have paused contract extension negotiations with quarterback Lamar Jackson, with no new deal expected until at least 2027. Jackson, entering his ninth season, remains under contract through the 2027 season. The delay follows a 2025 campaign that ended with a postseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the departure of head coach John Harbaugh. While Jackson is a two-time league MVP, he holds a 3-5 record in eight career playoff appearances. Public opinion remains split on his future with the franchise, as some critics point to his postseason performance and potential decline in mobility. Supporters maintain the quarterback possesses the ability to lead the team to a championship, though the organization continues to navigate uncertainty regarding its long-term offensive leadership.
