The Baltimore Ravens will place the franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson but that doesn’t mean he’s staying with the team through the 2023 season.
Jackson, who is representing himself, and Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta talked via phone and even met in South Florida in recent days but their negotiations did not lead to a multi-year contract.
That’s why the Ravens are using the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson. That tag will cost Baltimore $32.4 million guaranteed in 2023 and that full amount goes on the team’s salary cap.

In a surprising move, former MVP Lamar Jackson is now free to negotiate with other teams and Baltimore can match or receive draft picks.
