Lamar Jackson has nowhere to go?
Radio host Chris Russo, also known as Mad Dog, has pinpointed the reasons Lamar Jackson is finding it hard to get a new team. According to him, the Ravens QB has nowhere to go. And he attributed the compensation that is required to get his services as a reason behind the reluctance of the NFL franchises.
“Enough about Lamar Jackson my goodness gracious. There is no team for him to go to right now. He has to realize this huge compensation of two first round picks and you gotta pay him 50 million dollars. I mean, my gosh the young quarterback, you don’t pay him that much money,” Russo said on ESPN’s First Take.

Concern over the Ravens QB
Lamar Jackson deserves a hefty contract wherever he goes in the NFL. But many are concerned over the injury record of the QB. He missed a hefty chunk of games for the Ravens in the last couple of seasons. Last season, he even missed the team’s playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Many reports have claimed that he wants a fully guaranteed contract. But Jackson refuted the claims through a tweet, revealing that he turned-down a three-year fully guaranteed contract worth $133 million.
