Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said he’s confident the team can reach a contract extension with Lamar Jackson this offseason.

24 February 2026

Jackson, slated to be a free agent after the 2027 NFL season, could re-up with the Ravens after being involved in the coaching search that ended with former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as Baltimore’s new head coach. During a press conference at the NFL Combine on Tuesday, DeCosta declined to discuss any details of a potential extension for Jackson, who in 2023 signed a five-year deal worth $260 million, with $185 million guaranteed. Jackson, 29, is looking to bounce back in 2026 after an injury-marred 2025 campaign in which the Ravens missed the playoffs.
