The Baltimore Ravens are running out of time to make a critical decision ahead of free agency. They must agree on a new contract with quarterback Lamar Jackson in the coming weeks. His $74.5 million cap hit in 2026 is way too high to work through other negotiations comfortably.
The Ravens know this; they highlighted earlier in the offseason that they’re hoping to work out a similar contract to that of his last extension. Still, the pressure is on, and it’s only mounting. They’re pretty much out of excuses to not have a new contract worked out at this point.
