Despite the success of inserting rookie QB Lamar Jackson into the lineup and having the Baltimore Ravens reel off impressive win after impressive win to get them the AFC North title, John Harbaugh is not expected to sign an extension with the team as reported.
The Dolphins parted ways with head coach Adam Gase shortly after the season and are in the market for a big time coach to turn their franchise around. Insert: John Harbaugh.
Via Pro Football Talk:
“Per a league source, it’s believed that the Dolphins will formally make the call to the Ravens regarding that question, if the Dolphins know in advance that the Ravens won’t ask for too much.
How much is too much? Some think the Ravens would want two first-round picks. Others think the Ravens would be more reasonable than that.”
Florio points to certain personnel moves such as V.P. of football operations Mike Tannenbaum being reassigned and Chris Grier being made the G.M. and given the keys to the football operation. Those moves are being looked at by some as a move aimed at creating a structure that will attract Harbaugh.
Harbaugh is under contract until the end of the 2019 season.
