The Facts: The Ravens signed HC John Harbaugh to a three-year contract extension, owner Steve Bisciotti announced Tuesday at the NFL league meetings.
Diehards Line:
The extension puts Harbaugh under contract with the Ravens through the 2025 season and continues one of the longest runs of any active coach. It also represents a strong vote of confidence after the team's 8-9 season, which was the first time Harbaugh has finished in last place. Harbaugh, 59, was entering the final year of a four-year deal that he signed in January 2019. A source told ESPN last month that the sides were nearing a new contract. With Harbaugh's deal complete, the next priority is Lamar Jackson's contract. The 2019 NFL MVP is entering his fifth-year option, and the Ravens would be forced to put the franchise tag on him next offseason if the sides can't agree on a contract extension.
