Lamar Jackson has taken to Twitter to provide fans with some insight into the injury that has kept him sidelined for the past month. And it’s not good news for the Baltimore Ravens.
Jackson thanke⛦d everyone for their support and concerns regarding his injury and confirmed that he is dealing with a Grade 2 or borderline Grade 3 PCL sprain. Additionally, ꧂Jackson said he is still dealing with inflammation surrounding his knee, ultimately making his knee too unstable to return to action.
So, no Lamar Jackson this weekend. And likely no Lamar Jackson for the rest of the postseason if the Ravens are lucky enough to survive the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. Even worse for Ravens fans, if things don’t change on the extension negotiation front, we may have seen the former league MVP play his final game as a Raven.
Jackson is in the fifth and final season of his rookie contract with the Ravens. He is eligible t𒅌o become an unrestricted free agent unless Baltimore and Jackson have a negotiating breakthrough or the Ravens use the franchise tag on Jackson. The exclusive quarterback franchise tag for the 2023 season would pay Jackson $45.2 million and give the two sides another year to determine the long-term plan.
Jackson reportedly turned down a five-year offer worth $250 millioဣn with $133 million fully guaranteed before cutting off negotiations shortly before the regular season started because he wanted a fully🌟 guaranteed contract.
The offer had the second-highest average yearly salary and money fully guaranteed ever in an NFL contract.🎉 in connection with his trade from the Browns to the Texans in March is what Jackson views as a benchmark.
