Mink: We don’t know where things stand with Lamar Jackson’s prospective contract extension and don’t expect many (or any) updates.<\/p>\n

Jackson and General Manager Eric DeCosta have always kept their contract conversations private and that’s not going to change.<\/p>\n

The only thing they talk about is their intentions, which are clear: The Ravens want Jackson to stay in Baltimore for a long time.<\/p>\n

“I am confident Lamar will be here. I’m excited about it,” DeCosta said on 105.7 The Fan<\/a> last month. “I think he loves the team, he loves the city, he loves our fan base. And when I think of the Ravens, I think of Lamar Jackson being on the field.”<\/p>\n

Asked late last season whether he wants to stay in Baltimore, Jackson said “absolutely” four times and refuted notions that suggested otherwise.<\/p>\n

“I don’t even know where that comes from,” he said.<\/p>\n

Jackson has been one of the Ravens’ leaders during the voluntary portion of the offseason under new Head Coach Jesse Minter, further indicating his buy-in to the process.<\/p>\n

There’s no immediate need for Jackson to sign a contract extension after his contract was restructured in March<\/a>, which crated about $40 million in cap space. That move gave both sides another year before Jackson’s salary cap number jumps to $84.34 million.<\/p>\n

The Ravens wanted to work out an extension this offseason. Maybe they still will this summer before the 2026 season kicks off. Either way, I’m confident they’ll ultimately reach a deal because of their shared intent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mink: We don’t know where things stand with Lamar Jackson’s prospective contract extension and don’t expect many (or…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,257,11179,17263,34879,37774,398,396,397,11178,99],"class_list":["post-668572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-general","tag-homepage-centerpiece","tag-inline-news","tag-justin-robertson","tag-mailbag","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-ryan-mink","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
