Follow Us
While the NFL playoffs storm the environment, one of the stars of the league might be switching teams. Notably, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson could be parting with his franchise. According to several reports, the 2019 MVP sought a larger contract which led to him pausing extension talks. Since then it seems the relationship between Jackson and the Ravens hasn’t changed. With no long-term extension yet, Baltimore will probably trade their cornerstone. And NBA All-Star Trae Young has a destination in mind.
Jackson is arguably one of the most skilled quarterbacks in the NFL. Over the seasons, the 26-year-old has significantly improved his arm. However, his most lethal trait is his rushing. Notably, the former First Team Pro Bowl QB is the only one at his position to record multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons. His 2019 MVP conquest shoots him as one of the NFL’s best QBs.
However, the bumps over an extension continue. Before opting into his fifth year, Jackson rejected a $130 million guaranteed contract according to ESPN. The Ravens still haven’t found a way to negotiate a deal. At this point, a trade seems to be their best option. With fans arguing over Jackson’s future, Trae Young joined the discussion.
