The Baltimore Ravens remain "hopeful" on signing star quarterback Lamar Jackson to a long-term extension before the franchise-tag deadline on Tuesday, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
However, a deal between the two sides is still "not close," Anderson added:
"I'm told that both sides are still not close to getting a deal done. And also, my league sources have the impression that, at least as of right now, the Ravens have their best offer on the table. However, I was just told even before coming on this stage, the context to that is that it is still pending, getting more feedback from Lamar's side on their latest proposal.
