Agent's Take: What's next between Lamar Jackson, Ravens after yet another injury
CBS Sports ran an agent's-eye piece on Lamar Jackson's contract situation with Baltimore, noting his deal runs through 2027 and wondering whether an extension comes sooner. The hook is another injury; Jackson is currently listed as Out.
Jackson's contract with the Ravens expires after the 2027 season, but can he and Baltimore reach an agreement before then? What happens if they can't?
Sharp take
Sharp SixHoldA contract column is not an injury report, and it tells you nothing about this week. Jackson is Out, owned in 100% of these leagues, and Baltimore is a 10-point underdog in a 39.5-point total, which is not a game you were starting him in anyway. He projects for 363.8 points on the season and 36.3 over replacement, so dropping him is a donation. Stash him and start someone active. Everything about 2027 can wait until 2027.
