The Facts: The Ravens don't appear close to locking down star quarterback Lamar Jackson to a long-term contract, but the former NFL MVP wants it made clear he has no desire to leave Maryland. "I love my Ravens I don't know who the hell putting that false narrative out that I'm having thoughts about leaving stop tryna read my mind??," Jackson wrote Wednesday on Twitter.

Diehards Line: It's unclear exactly what Jackson is responding to, but his comments came a day after Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti discussed the state of negotiations regarding the QB's contract. Bisciotti told reporters at the NFL's Annual League Meeting on Tuesday that Jackson's lack of urgency in getting a long-term contract done is "unique as hell because everybody expects you to say, 'I've got to get mine now," according to ESPN.com. Bisciotti didn't insinuate that Jackson was trying to escape Baltimore but rather suggested the dynamic QB's motives are more psychological. "The kid is so obsessed with winning a Super Bowl, that I think deep down, he doesn't think he's worthy," Bisciotti said. "I think he wants that to say, 'Now, I deserve to be on top.' People can speculate any way they want. I don't think he is turned on by money that much and he knows it's coming one way or the other." Whatever the reason for the lack of a long-term deal, Bisciotti said he doesn't expect a new contract to happen before the season unless Jackson "has a change of heart."
