There has been plenty of speculation that Lamar Jackson‘s days are numbered with the Baltimore Ravens and that they will attempt to trade him before the 2023 NFL Draft. In fact, Pro Football Focus recently put together a trade proposal that would send Jackson to the Detroit Lions for what would be an absolute haul. Now, according to a report from Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have already made a decision on Jackson.
What decision did the Baltimore Ravens make on Lamar Jackson?
According to a report from Ian Rapoport, Jackson “isn’t going anywhere” and the Ravens will use the franchise tag on him if they are not able to get a deal done before the 2023 season.
Rapoport noted that the Ravens could use the exclusive franchise tag (more expensive but gives the team more control of the situation) or the non-exclusive tag (another team could put together an offer sheet for two first-round picks).
Nation, do you think the Ravens are making the correct decision with Lamar Jackson?
