Ed Reed says the Ravens are showing their “True Colors” regarding Lamar Jackson’s contract extension
Lamar Jackson wanted a new contract. He worked on it with the Ravens in the off-season but could not come to an agreement on a new deal and now the former Louisville quarterback and first round pick is dominating the NFL.
Lamar Jackson has been balling out this year. He has thrown 88 passes completing 56 of them for 749 yards and has a 10 to 2 touchdown to interception ratio.
Ed Reed a legendary Ravens player was talking about Lamar Jackson’s contract situation and he said the organization is showing their “True Colors” with his contract.
So the ballhawk himself offered Jackson up some advice.
“He’s just got to be smart,” Reed said, as transcribed by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “I’m not telling him to play scared or anything because I don’t think he’s gonna do that. He hasn’t displayed that, but he has to be smart because it is a business and they will use that s— against you whether you like it or not.
“You can think these people love you. They’re showing their true colors right now. And it’s no shot at the Ravens because they are an organization that’s a business. It’s a business first. It’s the NFL and it’s football to the players and we love that, but it’s a business first to the league.”
What do you think? Do you feel the Ravens are screwing their quarterback? This week Lamar Jackson will be playing the pissed off Buffalo Bills who lost last week to the Miami Dolphins. Right now the Ravens are the fifth best team in the AFC and the Bills are the sixth. It will be a great game for sure!
