Jackson Says He Loves Baltimore, but Steers Clear of Discussing His Contract with the Ravens
Jackson said he wants to keep contract talks private while the Ravens have two seasons left to resolve his long-term future.
- On Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson addressed reporters at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills, Maryland following practice, marking his first availability to local media in some time.
- Coach John Harbaugh was fired after last season and replaced by former Ravens assistant Jesse Minter as Baltimore pursued a new contract with Jackson before free agency, ultimately resulting only in a restructure that freed up salary cap space.
- Jackson said he was shocked by Harbaugh's firing but trusts owner Steve Bisciotti's judgment, describing the new coaching staff as "a breath of fresh air" and praising Minter for consistently having "a smile on his face."
- General manager Eric DeCosta expressed confidence Jackson will remain with the Ravens, while Jackson reiterated his commitment to Baltimore, stating "The restructure is done, and I'm cool with that, but I love Baltimore."
- Jackson declined to discuss specifics of contract negotiations, saying "I just want to keep those conversations private," though Coach Jesse Minter noted Jackson has been one of the offseason program's leaders with two seasons remaining on his deal.
