Ravens Not Committed to Lamar Jackson as QB

The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson seem to be drifting further apart.

PITTSBURGH -- The AFC North drama continues with the Baltimore Ravens, and as the Pittsburgh Steelers meet with the rest of the NFL at the League Meetings, the Ravens are trying to figure out their quarterback situation. 

Currently, Lamar Jackson remains under the non-exclusive franchise tag, allowing him to negotiate with other teams before one makes an offer sheet that Baltimore can match. At this point, the only news to come from other teams and their interest in Jackson are those saying they will not pursue him. 

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the two sides may be drifting rather than getting closer to solving their disagreements. Fowler reported that Jackson is currently ready to find a new team, and the Ravens are not fully "committed" to having their QB back in 20223. 

Fowler has said the Ravens have had a hard time telling potential free agent signings who their quarterback will be in 2023. As of now, their current backups are Tyler Huntley and Anthony Brown. 

Fowler named the Indianapolis Colts as a team to watch closer to the NFL Draft that could make an offer for Jackson. 

Any team who lands a deal with Jackson will give the Ravens an opportunity to match it. If they choose not to, Jackson's new team will send two first-round picks to Baltimore.
