- Quarterback had requested trade earlier this year
- 26-year-old is one of NFL’s most dynamic players
Lamar Jackson will remain a Baltimore Raven for the foreseeable future after reportedly agreeing to a five-year contract extension.
The former NFL MVP had requested a trade earlier this year as he struggled to reach agreement on a new deal with the team that drafted him in 2018. At the time he said the Ravens had “not been interested in meeting my value”. The quarterback has been looking for a contract similar to the fully guaranteed $230m deal Deshaun Watson was given by the Cleveland Browns last year.
