The Baltimore Ravens are in a dilemma with their position with Lamar Jackson. Both sides came to a standoff after failing to settle in the negotiations. LJ has also failed to attract other franchises since the cost to have him seems extensive. But the franchise is not failing to discuss other moves. The franchise could land an athlete who is a hot commodity in the free agency market.

The Ravens have not failed to make moves despite their quarterback contract standoff. Be it re-signing Nick Moore, Geno Stone, and Tony Brown or releasing Calais Campbell. The Riptide Rush has made it happen but they could look for some offensive arsenal for the organization.
