Overview
- On Wednesday at Ravens training camp Jackson reacted to being ranked 69th by saying “it is what it is” and that he does not care about rankings.
- The drop is a sharp reversal from last year when Jackson was voted No. 2 after an MVP-caliber 2024 season.
- Jackson’s lower placement reflects his injury-plagued 2025, when he missed games and finished with about 2,549 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, 349 rushing yards, and a rise in sacks.
- The Ravens have signaled support by installing new head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and by agreeing to a $120 million local facility investment and lease extension.
- Jackson has two years left on a deal that pays roughly $52 million a year and includes a no-tag clause, so his health and on-field play in 2026 will shape contract talks and his standing with peers.
