OverTheCap.com's Jason Fitzgerald believes Lamar Jackson could play under the Ravens' franchise tag for "multiple" years.
“If I were to put money on it, I’d say this is the ideal situation that ends up in multiple franchise tags before a deal gets done,” Fitzgerald told The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia. Jackson is headed into the final year of his rookie deal, and seems content biding his time before negotiating with Baltimore for a long-term extension. Team officials, including head coach John Harbaugh, have expressed unwavering confidence that they can keep Jackson for the long run. Playing under two consecutive franchise tags -- known as the Kirk Cousins Approach -- would make Jackson a free agent headed into his age-28 season in 2025. Assuming good health, there would be more than a few franchises ready and willing to sell the proverbial farm for Jackson's services. L-Jax will certainly be the Ravens quarterback for at least the next few years.
And this is why you get an agent. Because an agent would never let him do something that stupid.
This guy suffers a major knee injury and he loses a boatload of money.
