Submit ReviewIn this video, we're going to show you how the Browns crushed Lamar Jackson and the Ravens WITHOUT even stepping on the field! Lamar Jackson has demanded a trade and many believe it's solely because for the $230 Million dollars guaranteed contract the Browns gave Deshaun Watson. If you're a fan of the NFL, then you'll want to watch this video! The next step in the saga involving the Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson was taken Monday, when Jackson revealed he requested a trade out of Baltimore on March 2. In a tweet, the former NFL MVP said the Ravens, who previously placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on Jackson, have "not been interested in meeting my value."
Speaking at the NFL's annual league meeting in Phoenix on Monday, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said "I don't know what direction it's going to go" in regard to the negotiations, and also said of Jackson: "That's the guy I want to see be our quarterback." Jackson -- who is reportedly seeking a long-term contract with a guarantee in the neighborhood of the $230 million the Cleveland Browns gave Deshaun Watson last year -- had the nonexclusive franchise tag placed upon him by the Ravens on March 7. The tag allows Jackson to negotiate with other teams.
What kind of leverage does Jackson have to force a trade?
Jackson's tweet -- which was perfectly timed to the start of Harbaugh's media session at the league meetings -- is the first public indication that he wants out of Baltimore and might be a message that he doesn't want the Ravens to match an offer sheet to keep him. It is notable that, since Eric DeCosta took over as Ravens general manager, the team has dealt players who have requested a trade, including offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr., and wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. DeCosta has said in the past that he doesn't want players who don't want to be in Baltimore.
What is the current market for a Jackson trade? Which teams could be interested?
It's been 20 days since the Ravens placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on Jackson, and no team has signed him to an offer sheet. Jackson would certainly upgrade the quarterback situations for the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons. There has been speculation that the Tennessee Titans or San Francisco 49ers might get in the mix. But there are multiple factors -- the compensation to acquire Jackson (two first-round picks), Jackson's asking price (reportedly a Deshaun Watson-like deal) and the threat of the Ravens matching any offer -- that might have led to no team publicly pursuing him. Teams have until July 17 to sign Jackson to a multi-year offer sheet.
