One of the most controversial topics in the NFL nowadays is Lamar Jackson’s future. The Baltimore Ravens must make a decision on the quarterback’s contract, and now the NFLPA has given an advice to the player that the team will definitely not like.

Lamar Jackson is in a huge dilemma right now. The quarterback is set to hit free agency this year and the Ravens are uncertain if they’ll be able to keep the quarterback in Baltimore for more seasons.

The AFC North team gave Jackson a 4-year deal in 2018 and exercised a $23 million option in 2022. But now, the quarterback could leave as an unrestricted free agent if the Ravens don’t give him what he wants.

The quarterback is asking for a fully guaranteed five-year contract better than what the Browns gave to Deshaun Watson ($230 million). Ravens offered Jackson $50 million per season, but not fully guaranteed.

According toRavens general manager Eric DeCosta, Baltimore islooking for a solution, but the NFLPA thinks Jackson has a remarkable talent to be paid as much as he wants.

ā€œLamar and I are talking,ā€ DeCosta said on Wednesday from the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. ā€œWe met recently. It’s an ongoing discussion. Both (sides) understand the urgency of the situation.

ā€œIt’s been a good dialogue, a good discussion. Iā€˜m optimistic as I’ve continued to be optimistic, and we’ll see where it goes.ā€
