The Ravens’ offseason moves have been defined by departures and re-signing of key players to the team. Their first move involved agreeing to a 3-year, $60 million deal with LT Ronnie Stanley. While retaining your most experienced offensive lineman was always going to be a priority, they have been slow to add new pieces to the puzzle thus far. After falling agonizingly in the AFC Divisional round to the Bills, following yet another impressive season by Lamar Jackson, you would’ve expected general manager Eric DeCosta to start providing more ammunition to his QB using free agency. But apart from recently making a move for a former Chiefs star, it has been all quite in Baltimore, with Jackson like many fans still waiting.
The quarterbacks are premium assets in the NFL when it comes to those massive paydays. Take the Baltimore Ravens‘ QB, Lamar Jackson, for instance. When the Ravens signed the QB on a $260 million over five years with $185 million guaranteed, it was regarded as the biggest contract in NFL history back in 2023. Fast forward to now and it feels like a pocket change. The reason?
Well, on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills shook up the NFL offseason with a jaw-dropping, bank-breaking move—locking in Josh Allen with a massive extension. We’re talking a six-year deal worth up to $330 million, with a staggering $250 million guaranteed. Yep, that’s not just a contract; that’s a statement—one that’s not just turning heads in Buffalo but sparking plenty of chatter in Baltimore too. And the reason’s pretty obvious.
Right after the Bills extended Allen’s contract hit the headlines, the Ravens fans are now rooting for the front office to offer the same deal to Jackson as well. But what about the QB himself? Uh-huh, the 28-year-old QB is busy testing a pizza. On Tuesday, MLFootball shared a clip of Jackson eating a pizza on their official ‘X’ handle. “Baltimore #Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is test-tasting PIZZIA while the rest of the world is stressing out about free agency,” they wrote in their post. You bet the QB might have seen that clip.
