The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson have gone back and forth on their contract negotiations for more than a year now.

The former MVP could be a sought-after commodity in the offseason — provided he’s allowed to seek a trade somewhere else — but the Ravens are trying to keep him on board for at least another year.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta headed to Miami to try and work things out with Lamar in person before Tuesday’s deadline to place him under the franchise tag.

However, Pelissero adds that both parties are still miles away in terms of reaching an agreement, and there’s little-to-no optimism they will get a deal done.

Needless to say, this news didn’t sit well with Ravens fans, who took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter.

Lamar Jackson is one of the prime quarterbacks in the game, and they just can’t afford to lose him or make him force his way out of the team.

They’ve given him little-to-no weapons to work with in the passing game, they’ve thrown him under the bus publicly and privately, and they don’t seem to respect him enough to meet his market value and conditions.

Jackson’s injury-proneness and style of play will always bode a concern in terms of his long-term health.

But that’s just the market for quarterbacks nowadays, and the Ravens ought to decide whether they want to have a disgruntled player at the game’s most important position, or if they’ll just pay the man what he’s worth.
