The 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player could be on the move in Lamar Jackson. Lamar and the Ravens have gone back and forth on contract talks for a while now and over the last few months it’s been speculated that Jackson and the Ravens are more likely to be heading towards a divorce rather than a deal getting done.
NFL reporter Adam Schefter said Friday afternoon that Lamar to the Washington Commanders is likely to get done “very soon” and the compensation is likely to be agreed to Friday evening. With Lamar wanting a fully guaranteed contract, Baltimore has been very reluctant to give Jackson even close to what he’s asking as Lamar has gotten injured late in each of the last two seasons and can’t seem to play a full season healthy.
With the Cleveland Browns giving quarterback Deshuan Watson a five year $230 million dollar contract fully guaranteed, that’s what Lamar has said he’s wanted and isn’t backing down to his demands even if it means getting shipped out of Baltimore. Since Watson has received that deal many NFL owners have stated that what the Browns did was an outlier and isn’t where the quarterback market is heading.
