The Baltimore Ravens signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Sunday seemed to be a pretty good indicator that quarterback Lamar Jackson was possibly going to return to the team for the season.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, it seems like Jackson actually helped recruit Beckham to Baltimore and that Beckham joined with the understanding Jackson would be his quarterback this fall.
While Rapoport underscores that there isn’t a new deal imminent between Jackson and the Ravens, all signs point to the quarterback playing for Baltimore for at least another season.
If Jackson is actively recruiting players like Beckham to join him in Baltimore, the odds are slim that he’d back out and keep his trade request active.

Well, if this isn’t the best sign we’ve gotten that the Jackson storyline this NFL offseason might be coming to close, we’re not sure what is.
Nobody knows for sure what the long-term solution will be for Jackson and Baltimore, but it feels incredibly likely that the two sides will remain together for at least another season.
