“I don’t think it’s a given Lamar Jackson is gonna be back with the Ravens,” Florio said on Yahoo Sports Daily. “I think there’s still a chance that Lamar Jackson decides it’s time for a fresh start for him, too.”
Part of the reason why Harbaugh was let go was reportedly due to his unwillingness to part ways with Todd Monken, who was serving as the offensive coordinator with the Ravens. Monken and Jackson didn’t have the closest relationship or tightest bond, but Harbaugh trusted the longtime coordinator and did not want to let him go.
Minter’s most important hire will be Baltimore’s offensive coordinator. However, Florio notes that Jackson’s thoughts about Minter as head coach will carry more weight.
It’s hard to imagine Jackson suiting up for an organization other than the Ravens, but it did feel like these two parties were heading toward a split before the two-time MVP inked his first extension in Baltimore.
Jackson does not have an agent, so it’s oftentimes difficult to read into what he’s thinking. One thing is certain, however.
If the Ravens want to maintain their staying power in the AFC North, they’re going to need Jackson to stop regressing and get back to being one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the league.
