The Facts: In line for one of the next big contracts in the NFL, Jackson sent a clear message about his commitment to Baltimore on Wednesday. "I would love to be here forever," Jackson told reporters. "I love Baltimore, I love the whole organization, I love everybody in the building. Hopefully we'll be making something happen pretty soon."

Diehards Line: Jackson is under contract through the 2022 season after the Ravens exercised his fifth-year option a month ago. It was an easy decision for the club to retain the 2019 AP NFL Most Valuable Player, who recently became the first QB ever to produce consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Jackson said he spoke to Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta "a month or two ago" about a new deal. Around that same time frame, DeCosta proclaimed the team's intentions were to keep Jackson in Baltimore for many, many years. With both sides on the same page, Jackson, who hinted at representing himself during the ongoing negotiations, said he isn't worried about an impending pay day. The Ravens QB is rather fixated on the upcoming season and is looking to build off his first playoff win this past January. "I'm really focused on the season," Jackson said. "I'm focused on trying to win. I'm not really ready about if it (will) get done this year or next year. ..." It makes sense. At some point, whether it's sooner or later, Jackson is getting paid.
