Bleacher Report names hypothetical trade involving Ravens QB Lamar Jackson that would shake up NFL

by

The Baltimore Ravens have seen their situation with quarterback Lamar Jackson drag out far beyond what many have anticipated. The two sides haven’t been able to agree on a long-term extension, leading to questions about the quarterback’s future.

When listing out hypothetical trade scenarios that could shake up the NFL, Alex Kay of Bleacher Report named a deal that would send Jackson to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a bevy of assets. Kay has Jackson going to Indianapolis for the No. 4 overall pick, the No. 35 overall pick, a 2024 first-round pick, and a 2024 second round pick.

“Given his status as a non-exclusive franchise-tagged player, the Colts could technically acquire Jackson for only two first-rounders if they tender him a contract that the Ravens won’t match. However, Baltimore could threaten to meet that number. The Colts would be better served coming up with a package that would guarantee Jackson winds up in Indy…A pair of first-rounders and some extra value, such as the No. 35 overall pick and a second-rounder next year, could do the trick here.”
