How Will Lamar Jackson Standoff Be Resolved? Examining All Options For Star QB, Ravens.

INDIANAPOLIS – If the Aaron Rodgers saga is the main course of the NFL offseason, then the Lamar Jackson mystery is its very sizable hors d'oeuvre.

And while Rodgers decides when to reveal whether – or perhaps where – he will be playing in 2023, the Baltimore Ravens have until March 7 to make their first significant decision about Jackson's immediate future. That's the deadline for teams to use the franchise tag on one of their pending free agents in order to hinder his ability to leave.

"We're hopeful that we'll get a deal done with Lamar before that happens," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday at the annual scouting combine.
