The team are shit without him and he’s the best QB in franchise history, it would be dumb to get rid of him for someone inevitably worse. The only issue is how much guaranteed money he’s asking for (he essentially wants a Deshaun Watson contract), which is the only reason a deal isn’t already done. The NFLPA pushing for fully guaranteed contracts paired with Jackson’s lack of agent has made these negotiations way more complicated than they needed to be (he was already offered a contract with more guaranteed money than everyone but Watson and higher APY than everyone but Mahomes, which he refused on grounds he could bet on himself this year and he wanted essentially a fully guaranteed contract (which the Ravens will never give him)

There is a difference though, Mahomes was extended after year 3. Lamar is now now on year 5. Price goes up based no that. Mahomes contract was two years ago. Price goes up year by year. They offered a below market contract.
