QB Lamar Jackson
Various thoughts on various things, all in 50 words or less:
This week's headlines about the salary cap probably rising sharply in 2022 furthered my conviction that next year is the best time to sign Lamar Jackson to a new deal. But the Ravens should still try to do it sooner, mostly to avoid that point where the clock starts ticking.
Jackson was lighthearted to the point of playful on the subject of his contract negotiations during his brief session with the media this week. But make no mistake, behind that playfulness is a determined young man who wants the full extent of what he believes he has coming.
