Lamar Jackson is in the building.

After Jackson did not attend the first day of Phase III voluntary workouts on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com reports Jackson is at the Ravens facility for Baltimore’s second OTA practice.

Jackson’s presence is a positive for the Ravens, as they’re implementing a new offensive scheme under coordinator Todd Monken. He said earlier this month that Jackson will get up to speed with everything in the offense once he’s in the building.

Just before the start of the draft last month, Jackson agreed to a five-year deal worth $260 million with $185 guaranteed, making him the league’s highest-paid player.

  1. Once again, a bunch of hoopla around a Lamar Jackson issue for nothing. I told you diring all the contract talk about no agent, 1-3 playoffs and injuries that you were wasting your time in conjecture, you’re not a GM and he would still be the highest paid QB and he was. Miss one day of OTAs and it’s stop the presses, the world’s coming to an end.

  2. I like Lamar, but don’t love him. I do not like how he extorted a contract from the Ravens. Maybe he will get to the SB, maybe not. If not, he will be an abject failure. I guess he doesn’t care because he has the money, but that tastes bitter to me. Go Ravens!

  3. Sure, just like he would’ve shown up for the Divisional Round game last year if the Ravens had won the Wild Card game.

    What’s wrong with that?

  4. Waited until day 2 to show? $260 million just doesn’t get you what it used to…

  5. Now that he’s there, you’ll need to flip the script that OTA’s are voluntary and shouldn’t be attended.

  6. So all of that pontificating and judgement yesterday was a big waste of time and energy. I guess all the “talking heads” need something to talk about.

  7. I guess he, or his mommy, realized that his little “holdout” on day one was a REALLY bad and petty look for him.

  8. Where did all those Minnesota experts go that said he was their next QB? LOL As if Kwesi could pull that off.

  9. Now we just gotta see if he turns up for the last quarter of the season – & if performs if the Ravens make the playoffs.

  10. You’d think The one day of voluntary OTA’s he missed is equal to 1.5 regular season losses if you were checking on the nfl media yesterday

  11. Imagine wasting all that time and brain power typing an article yesterday about having him miss OTAs for him to show up the next day. Haha!

    There is no such thing as a holdout from voluntary activities. OTAs are strictly voluntary per the collective bargaining agreement. Holdouts only occur during mandatory preseason activities and actual practices/games during the season.

  13. Dude doesn’t get it. Franchise qbs don’t do that. They are team leaders and his first day miss was showing his ass rather than show up.

    You never heard of Drew Tom or manning doing this crap.

    Lamar did travel to the wild card game because the travel to the previous road game aggravated his injury. This has been explained multiple times. Why should he cause further damage to his body traveling to a game that he could not play in?

    Why did he miss day 1?

    He probably had some bad BBQ…

  17. If I’m a Ravens fan, I’m terrified of the fact that they are implementing a new offensive scheme. If this new guy even tries to have Lamar be a more traditional, drop-back QB who throws, then every penny of that contract they just signed him to will be burned immediately. We’ve already seen how badly Lamar throws the football even when he remains a running threat… if you take away his running, then defenses will literally be laughing while shutting him down.
