Lamar Jackson And Baltimore Ravens Agree To Deal
After the ending of last season and everything in the offseason, many thought that Jackson had played his last down as a Raven. However, John Harbaugh and management were adamant that they wanted Jackson back in the fold. They never wavered and now they have their franchise quarterback back in the fold. It is a new five-year deal that is worth $260 million. This puts his annual salary at $52 million per year which is the most of any NFL player ever. It is $185 million guaranteed, also the most for any player all-time.

Where Do They Rank In The AFC?
The AFC is stacked. The Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, Jaguars, Chargers, Dolphins, and Jets along with the Ravens all feel good about their playoff chances. However, at least one of the aforementioned teams is missing the playoffs. The Ravens were in a tough spot without Lamar Jackson. Now, they bring back one of the top quarterbacks in the league with an improved offense. Harbaugh has proven he can coach a winning roster and with a new offensive coordinator, the Ravens could be a scary team.
Are the Ravens done adding pieces? After adding Odell Beckham Jr. many are wondering whether a deal for DeAndre Hopkins is in the works. The draft is tonight so soon we will know if the Ravens have anything else planned. For now, the Baltimore Ravens have gotten their biggest problem solved.
