Tonight is the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Baltimore Ravens have the 22nd overall pick. The team only has five picks, with none in the second round as of now. With all that going on, the Lamar Jackson contract situation is still up in the air.
It is now being reported by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, that major progress has been made between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. He is saying that a deal could be done very soon, without any hiccups. This is all good news for the NFL, Lamar Jackson, and the Ravens organization.

The #Ravens and star QB Lamar Jackson have made progress on a mega-deal, sources say.
It’s not done. But Baltimore may keep their star, and Lamar should get paid. pic.twitter.com/GJup2YPZvM

Nothing finalized yet, but the Ravens are working toward a long-term agreement with QB Lamar Jackson, according to sources. A year-long process has gathered some momentum and a lot of optimism.

The quarterback situation would now be solidified, and the team would be able to make addition moves with the potential of gaining more cap space whenever the dollar amount is reveal, when a deal is signed.
