‘I haven’t seen the tweet,” Harbaugh said. “It’s an ongoing process.
‘I’m following it very closely, just like everybody else is here and looking forward to a resolution. I’m excited. Thinking about Lamar (Jackson) all the time.
‘Thinking about him as our quarterback. We’re building our offense around that idea. I’m just looking forward to getting back to football and I’m confident that’s going to happen.’
The 26-year-old Jackson has been with the Ravens since 2018, his entire career in the NFL.
In the 2022 season, the Ravens made it to the Wild Card round before losing 24-17 to the Bengals.
