The Ravens and Lamar Jackson's contract negotiations reached a standstill six days ago. The quarterback consistently stated that the season opener would serve as the deadline for concluding a deal in 2022; negotiations were terminated until after the season.
Jackson, who acts as his agent, is currently entirely focused on football and declined to respond to three inquiries about his contract position on Wednesday.
Jackson said, "Respectfully, I'm done talking about it," according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. I previously informed you that I intended to finish it within the first week. The first week is over. We have spent discussing it. Now my attention is on the Dolphins.
According to a story published on Sunday, Jackson reportedly declined a five-year deal worth over $250 million with a $133 million guarantee. There was a discrepancy between what Jackson sought in guaranteed money and what the Ravens were ready to pay due to Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed, $230 million contract, and the parties could not bridge it.
When a reporter inquired about the guaranteed money, Jackson grinned and replied, "Respectfully, I'm done talking about it. Man, it's dolphin time.
On his fifth-year option, Jackson will earn $23.016 million this season, the last year of his rookie contract.
