Quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have not come to a contract agreement after numerous months of discussion. Both parties seem to be willing to draw up a new deal, though the process is quite slow. Jackson has implied that he wants to be part of the Ravens for life, while the Baltimore organization has displayed their trust in the 24 year old as their quarterback for the long term. Yet due to a plethora of aspects, the contract has not yet been written up, per Jason La Confora of CBS Sports.

The length of the deal, amount of money given, and performance bonuses all play a factor in the long process of the Ravens' quarterback signing his deal. The Ravens have seen fellow class draftees Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen garner massive deals, with Mahomes getting roughly $45 million a year, while Allen is at the $43 million region. Jackson is likely to get paid just as much if not more than his peers, but Baltimore is possibly looking at how long term of a deal they will need to sign.

The Louisville product has displayed enough success in the league to be paid at the max level. He was the league's MVP at the age of 22 years old, and is continuously improving. Jackson's run game has always been elite, but the star is also portraying the ability to throw the ball at a high level. This season, he is in the top 10 for both passing and rushing yards.

Jackson will undoubtedly sign a franchise altering contract, but the question is when the deal will be finalized for the Ravens' star.
