Ravens Make Huge Contract Announcement Minutes After Lamar Jackson’s Clear Message on New Deal

The Ravens are out here playing 4D chess while the rest of the league is still stuck on Candy Crush. Every move they make isn’t just about winning—it’s about straight-up owning the competition. And this offseason? They just pulled off a W so big, defenses are already in shambles before the season even kicks off.

The Ravens just pulled a massive W, locking down fullback Patrick Ricard on a one-year, fully guaranteed deal. If you know Pancake Pat, you already know this dude is an absolute MENACE. He started as a defensive lineman back in 2017, but the Ravens were like, ‘Nah, you’re way too elite to play just one position,’ and turned him into a fullback. Now, he’s out here bodying defenders, clearing lanes like a human bulldozer, and even snagging passes when needed. That’s why they call him “Project Pat“—dude can literally do everything. Five Pro Bowls, a First-Team All-Pro in 2024, and a key piece of the Ravens’ beastly run game? Yeah, defenses are about to have nightmares tryna stop him.

This ain’t just a “good vibes” signing—it’s a straight-up flex. The Ravens’ whole identity is built on toughness, and Patrick Ricard is HIM. His blocking is next-level, but don’t let that fool you—he’s got hands too, with 48 career catches, 315 yards, and seven TDs. And with Todd Monken dialing up plays, he’s about to be an even bigger cheat code. Bottom line? The Ravens’ offense just got even scarier, and defenders better start saying their prayers.

But not everything this off-season has been sunshine and Ws. Linebacker Chris Board just dipped for the Giants, locking in a two-year, $6 million bag. He’s been a key special teams guy and solid depth piece on defense, so losing him low-key stings. Board started his career in Baltimore, left for a bit, then came back in 2024—but now he’s out, leaving the Ravens with some gaps to fill.

And if that wasn’t enough, linebacker Malik Harrison said peace out and signed with the Steelers. Yeah, losing a guy to a division rival always hits different, and now Baltimore’s linebacker depth is looking a little sus. With both Board and Harrison gone, the Ravens gotta reload ASAP. But let’s be real, Baltimore’s always been elite at scouting defensive talent, so expect them to cook something up real soon.

Still, they’re not just sitting around taking Ls—they’ve been busy stacking talent. They picked up offensive linemen Corey Bullock and Darrian Dalcourt, wide receivers Malik Cunningham and Dayton Wade, tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden, and even a new QB in Devin Leary. And for the defense? They added Adedayo Odeleye, Basil Okoye, and C.J. Ravenell to keep that front seven locked in.

Sure, losing a couple of key players stings, but the Ravens are built different. They’ve got the coaching, the culture, and the dawg mentality to keep dominating. This offseason has been all about keeping the squad strong while making sure they’re stacked for another deep playoff run. If they keep cooking like this, don’t be shocked when they’re making a serious Super Bowl push.

Lamar Jackson is chillin’ while Ravens fans panic over his next bag

NFL contracts age faster than a TikTok trend, and Lamar Jackson’s record-breaking five-year, $260M deal? Yeah, it already feels like chump change (not exactly, but you know what I mean). Why? Because Josh Allen just secured the ultimate glow-up—a massive six-year, $330M extension with a jaw-dropping $250M guaranteed. Now, Ravens fans are side-eyeing their front office like, ‘Y’all see this, right? Where’s Lamar’s upgrade?‘ But it’s not just the Ravens fans side-eyeing the front office. Even the Bills fans are side-eyeing their front office for this decision!

Technically, Baltimore doesn’t have to do anything right now. Lamar is locked in through 2027, so the team isn’t exactly scrambling. But here’s the thing—Allen was set through 2028, and the Bills still threw the bag at him early. If Buffalo can do that for their guy, why shouldn’t the Ravens? That’s got Ravens Flock spiraling, debating if their front office is moving too slow.

And what’s Lamar doing while the NFL world stresses over his money? Eating pizza. No, for real. A video of him casually taste-testing a slice went viral, making it seem like he couldn’t care less. But then he hopped on ‘X’ to set the record straight. “This was Last yr…… lol I’m waiting like everyone else,” he posted. Translation? He’s laid-back, but he’s definitely keeping tabs on the situation.

And honestly, he should be. The QB market never stays the same, and now that Allen just got the ultimate payday, you know Lamar’s camp is taking notes. The dude’s a two-time MVP, a human cheat code, and the biggest reason the Ravens are still Super Bowl contenders. If Baltimore wants to keep their franchise guy happy, they might need to start cooking up a new deal now before the price tag skyrockets again.

For now, though, Lamar is big chillin’, letting the front office handle business while he focuses on, well… pizza. But if the Ravens don’t act fast, they might end up paying even more when the next QB secures an even bigger bag.
