The Baltimore Ravens made a promise about free agency, amid news about Lamar Jackson's contract after the 2026 NFL draft.

So much for the good vibes.

The Baltimore Ravens opened their doors to the media for voluntary OTA workouts on Tuesday, with 1 noticeable player missing in 2-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.

“Lamar Jackson is not here for the first OTA open to the media this offseason,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote on X. “These workouts are voluntary. Jackson did attend Jesse Minter’s first voluntary minicamp earlier this offseason. Ravens QBs here are: Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano.”

Jackson’s absence comes after a whirlwind weekend in which Jackson not only saw his No. 7 jersey retired by Boynton Beach (Fla.) High School, but also attended a show by comedian Mike Epps, and attended a pre-prom event at Blanche Ely High School in his hometown of Pompano Beach, Florida, decked out in a full tuxedo.

So, yeah, he wasn’t at workouts on Tuesday. And he wasn’t the only 1, either.

“Here are notable Ravens not in attendance for voluntary OTA on Tuesday: QB Lamar Jackson, S Kyle Hamilton, CB Marlon Humphrey, WR Rashod Bateman, NT Travis Jone, DE Calais Campbell, DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), NT John Jenkins, CB Chidobe Awuzie, LB Teddye Buchanan (knee),” Hensley wrote.
