Following his NFL MVP snub, Lamar Jackson has been receiving an outpouring of support from fans and experts who recognize his talent and anticipate his fierce return to the field. Despite falling short of his third MVP title, the Ravens star quarterback has given fans an intriguing update about his upcoming 2025 season. Let’s break it down!
Jackson took to Instagram on Tuesday to surprise his fans with a major change not in his game, but in his look. Sharing a video of his signature long, curly hair with a scissor emoji sticker and the text, “Before the ✂️,” Jackson teased an offseason transformation. It seems fans will see their favorite QB in a brand-new style this year.
But Jackson’s Instagram stories didn’t stop there. In another post, he re-shared a video of one of his touchdown highlights with the caption, “Already hyped for next year,” to which he replied, “Me too 😅.” Clearly, Jackson is as pumped for the 2025 season as his fans are.
Meanwhile, the Ravens organization has made headlines with their interest in quarterback Justin Fields. While some may find it odd for the team to pursue another QB when Jackson is at the top of his game, the move is strategic. With backup quarterback Josh Johnson, 38, potentially retiring this offseason, the Ravens are exploring options for a reliable second-in-command.
Justin Fields, who began the 2024 season with the Steelers but played behind a healthy Russell Wilson, is now entering free agency. According to NFL reporter Tyler Brooke, “While Fields would likely never see the field, he’d have an opportunity to work side by side with arguably the best quarterback in the NFL right now.”
Though Fields might prefer a starting role, a short-term deal with the Ravens could benefit his career, especially if the free-agent market is slow. After completing his four-year, $18.87 million rookie contract with the Chicago Bears, Fields spent a season with Pittsburgh. Now, he could be a valuable addition to Baltimore as a backup.
As free agency unfolds after March 13, 2025, fans will be eager to see if Fields joins the Ravens and potentially shares practice reps with Jackson. With Jackson’s fresh look and a possible new backup on the horizon, the 2025 season is already shaping up to be an exciting one for Ravens Nation.
