Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta says he is optimistic that the team can reach a contract extension with quarterback Lamar Jackson before a March deadline. The comments come as the clock runs on negotiations tied to Jackson’s current deal.
Both outlets note Jackson still has time remaining on his contract, which runs for two additional seasons. Yahoo Sports also specifies that Jackson’s cap hit for 2027 is $84.340 million. The Athletic adds that if the parties do not reach an agreement by March, Baltimore faces a significant decision about how to proceed with Jackson’s situation at that point.
While the tone is similar across reports—focused on DeCosta’s confidence and the looming March timing—outlets emphasize different details. The Athletic centers on the stakes for the team if no deal is reached, while Yahoo Sports highlights the contract timeline and the specific 2027 cap figure.
