It’s the perfect time for Jackson to ask for a new contract. The 2022 NFL training camp part of the schedule is just about here. Jackson’s decision to play will hold the keys to where the Ravens will finish this year.
Last year, Jackson had a subpar season. He threw 16 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. He gained another 767 yards on the ground with two rushing touchdowns. While he has stuff to work on yet, he has shown signs of brilliance on his rookie deal.
Jackson’s best season was in 2019 when he threw 37 touchdowns to 6 interceptions. If that Jackson is behind center this year and in the future, the Ravens will be in the playoff conversation for another decade or so.
Jackson’s fans want him to get that bag
Ravens fans want Jackson to be on the field and content. A happy Jackson hopefully means he stays in 2019 form. Fans on Twitter gave their opinions.
They better pay him before it’s too late

Lamar will get paid. Unfortunately for him?! He has no agent. This is truly new ground.

The best thing Lamar can do for himself and the organization is to hold out
The ravens are cheap and they never give out top dollar unless their hand is forced
