Ravens could dump Lamar Jackson in radical move: NFL expert
NY Post
As Lamar Jackson waits to sign the next huge quarterback contract extension, one NFL Draft expert thinks the Ravens could explore the radically different approach of letting him leave in free agency.
Cycling through different quarterbacks every 4-5 years to always keep one on a salary-cap-friendly rookie contract is a theory that bounces around NFL inners circles but no team has had the gumption to actually try it because of how difficult it is to draft the right quarterback. Letting go of an elite quarterback and replacing him with a potential draft bust is a recipe for egg on your face and fire under your seat. So, why would Ravens coach John Harbaugh risk parting ways with Jackson, who was the 2019 NFL MVP in his first full year as a starter? Well, after trading offensive tackle Orlando Brown to the Chiefs, the Ravens now have two first-round picks (No. 27 and No. 31) in Thursday’s draft and the ability to move up to select a potentially sliding quarterback like Ohio State’s Justin Fields.More Related News
