Lamar Jackson Would Love To Be Raven 'Forever'

May 27, 2021 7:43 AM

Lamar Jackson doesn't know when he'll sign a contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens, but the quarterback wants to remain with the franchise over the long term.

"I would love to be here forever," Jackson said. "I love Baltimore. I love the whole organization. I love everybody in the building. Hopefully, we'll be making something happen pretty soon whenever."

Jackson said he spoke with Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta a month or two ago about an extension.

The 24-year-old is scheduled to earn $1.77 million in base salary this season, which ranks 23rd among all quarterbacks. His salary spikes to $23.1 million in 2022, when he enters his fifth-year option and final year under contract.

Knee Injury Has Kept Antonio Brown From Signing New Deal With Bucs

May 20, 2021 8:21 AM

Antonio Brown's agent told reporters almost a month ago that his client agreed to terms on a new deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On Tuesday, Bruce Arians said Brown's signing has been delayed by the fact that the wide receiver has a knee injury that requires surgery.

"He has to pass the physical," Arians said. "Hopefully we'll have a scope on Tuesday, he's getting his knee cleaned out, and everything will work out fine. It's just a matter of a physical."
