Lamar Jackson finally got what he was looking for. The quarterback wanted a long-term deal, but the Baltimore Ravensrefused to give him one this year and place the non-exclusive franchise tag on him.
This type of tag allowed Jackson to negotiate with other teams. The interested club had to give two first-round picks to the Ravens to sign him, a high price to pay for any franchise.
