 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and over the past 24 hours There has been a lot of speculation as to if the Ravens came to a contract extension with Lamar Jackson Or if they are very close to coming to one contract extension with Lamar Jackson reason being because of some very Timely and cryptic tweets and let's get right into it now Of course, we know Eric Dacosta let it be known months ago Like hey, we're gonna work on a contract extension with Lamar Jackson We want him here for the foreseeable future. That is our guy We know that and we knew that that was obvious and we as Ravens fans We will most of us not everybody but we as Ravens fans most of us We want Lamar Jackson here too because it just makes sense like Did you not see what this guy did for the franchise like we can go down the entire list But we don't even need to but Lamar Jackson gave life to the Baltimore Ravens again He injected this he injected life He injected a new culture a new vibe into the Ravens that they were clearly lacking and we love again We love Joe Fleco. This is nothing against Joe Fleco, but it was just time to move on It was time to move on and the Ravens when if you in your first time your first time having a franchise quarterback Which was Joe Fleco and you're very next time where you go for another one and you strike You got to keep him. You got to keep him and I know there's been a lot of people say, oh, well Lamar Jackson He doesn't deserve this amount of money. Oh Lamar Jackson. He doesn't deserve that amount of money that dude straight up He deserves a blank check He deserves a blank check straight up Because what Lamar Jackson does for the Baltimore Ravens? This is no plug-and-play offense This is not an offense where you could take Lamar Jackson out Insert another quarterback in and boom older Ravens are doing the same thing. They did with Lamar. No, and you know that But anyway, a lot of the speculation is started yesterday a little before 130 because the Ravens they put out a Tweet that was something from their podcast that featured Eric de Costa where he talked about a lot of different things But this tweet it was like a Lamar Jackson appreciation tweet and I was wondering like, huh, okay Now we certainly appreciate Lamar Jackson and we love when people actually put out positive messages about him because of course You know, it's a lot of trolls out there and whatnot You know Ravens every day I go on Twitter, man From start to finish from the first tweet that I see to the last tweet that I see I will always see Ravens fans getting into it with somebody about Lamar Jackson like oh my goodness That takes a lot of energy man a lot of if I see it from morning Till night and I know y'all anybody that's on Twitter y'all seen the same thing too So, you know Ravens fans they want to come to Lamar Jackson Ravens fans do not play So the Ravens they put out this little excerpt from the podcast Where Eric de Costa he talked about how Lamar Jackson? He's almost like a son And I said he'd be the kind of guy you'd be very proud to have as a son and Eric de Costa in that clip that the Ravens put out on their Twitter He spoke about he spoke highly about Lamar Jackson one of the qualities about him not even about his his play but about his leadership and I'm like, okay cool a little bit random But hey, we appreciate it because that is something about Lamar Jackson that can it doesn't go unnoticed he is definitely a leader and He brings people together and I think he's one of those. He's one of those calm leaders Cuz he's not out here giving all these pregame speeches He's not out there yelling and this and that but he leads by example And he has created this unity with the team and It's just been a beautiful thing to see but that didn't really get people talking too much because I was like, okay Cool Ravens Eric de Costa showing love to Lamar Jackson. He's shown that appreciation of Lamar. Oh, you'll be proud to have him as a son Okay, cool but then Lamar Jackson's response Well, he tagged the Ravens and he put sg and smart guys Hmm and a lot of people like, huh, what does that mean? You know Kodak black with the whole sniper gang and whatnot, but what what what does that mean? He tagged the Ravens and put SG smart guys Why would Lamar Jackson? This was about five hours after that appreciation post But why would Lamar Jackson put that? I don't know hmm interesting so then he followed that up and Put Eric de Costa EDC every dollar counts So it was funny because he quote tweeted the tweet that the Ravens put out with Eric de Costa talking about him and Eric de Costa didn't mention money anything like that But then Lamar quote tweeted that and said EDC every dollar count and it's funny because If y'all watched a recent episode of NFL questions from subscribers Somebody called EDC question came from a boy Nick Britt He said I hope you liked the draft as much as I did in this pivotal offseason I feel like I finally see the vision at EDC aka every dollar counts has for the team I like that in a year where we could have went I'm not saying that Lamar anybody watches the videos or whatnot But I just felt like the timing was a little bit It was a coincidence because somebody in question from subscribers called EDC that they said EDC stands for every dollar counts And I had never heard that before from anybody But seeing Lamar say that I said, oh, I don't know But when he said that it's like okay every dollar counts, huh? every dollar counts And you know the Ravens of course they Signed Lamar Jackson up for his fifth year extension. They picked up his fifth year contract his fifth year option So with that so they got him for this year next year So he's under contract for the next two years, but that does not stop them From signing him to a contract extension. It really doesn't Reason being because the contract extension it wouldn't kick in until the year following the fifth year option Well, of course, he could have signing bonuses and stuff like that But as far as it counting against the cap and all that stuff, it wouldn't really kick up until 2023 Yeah, because he signed through 2021 through 22 and 22 through 23 is the fifth year option. So in 2023 That's when that contract was shoot up I mean with the fifth year option it was shoot up To what is it 22 23 mil? But with the contract extension it wouldn't shoot up till the following year So it makes it seem like I don't know man I don't know. Is it is it us looking too deep into this thing? Because I know a lot of y'all felt the same way when y'all saw what was going on on twitter And then Lamar Jackson just the cherry on top last night The cherry on top last night this guy uh was obviously on a private jet He went on instagram live on from a private jet And where he was coming from where he was going to Who knows but you could almost think like You don't you don't want to overthink this thing But it is fun to store to speculate about it. Could he have been on the way? Back to the castle To sign a contract extension. I don't know I don't know I don't know we don't know But it was just something fun to think about so we'll of course see if this actually ends up being the case Who knows who knows Oh, but we just got to be patient with it and and whether it is the case or not It is definitely coming now something else that this could possibly be Lamar Jackson isn't the only one do for an extension And they actually have somebody else on the team Who is looking to get paid? And is in the final year of their deal And they also said that they would be working on an extension with him too And that's one mark angeles So with Lamar Jackson those cryptic tweets They might not have even been about him This could have been about them getting something done with mark angeles So that's something also to keep in mind and and to think about moving forward Because he's in the last year of his deal as well So anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all I love y'all and we'll see if any of this speculation if any of this stuff comes to fruition I mean we'll know it will eventually But we'll see if it does sooner rather than later. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all team keeping clean Yeah
