The Baltimore Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson are reportedly not close to agreeing on a contract extension as the 2026 NFL season begins, according to The Oregonian and Yahoo Sports. Both outlets frame the situation as ongoing and unresolved rather than nearing a deal.

While the reporting indicates the Ravens are prepared to spend to address the quarterback situation, both sources say Jackson is focused on other priorities at this time. Neither outlet provides details about specific contract figures, formal negotiation milestones, or a timetable for when talks could resume or reach a conclusion.
