Will The Ravens Trade Lamar Jackson? Which Teams Would Be The Best Fit?

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been a star since taking over as the starter. The former first-round pick won the MVP award in 2019.

That year the former first-round pick had a 13-2 record as the starter, throwing for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns, both career highs. Furthermore, Jackson had 176 rushing attempts for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns that year.

Unfortunately, injuries have impacted Jackson over the past two years. The star quarterback has missed five games each of the past two years because of injury.

Will The Ravens Trade Lamar Jackson?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Jackson and the Ravens are in an ugly situation. The star quarterback believes he’s worth a fully guaranteed contract. However, the team doesn’t want to commit to that type of deal.

The former first-round pick made public of his trade request on March 2. Despite the trade request, Baltimore hasn't been willing to entertain trade conversations.

Which Teams Would Be The Best Fit For Lamar Jackson?

While everyone on Twitter and fans wants to see a blockbuster trade for Jackson, that is unlikely to happen. Most teams have already made decisions through free agency or the trade market. Furthermore, many teams don’t have the salary cap space needed to pull off such a deal.

However, the betting market has the Indianapolis Colts as the favorites to land the superstar quarterback if he gets traded at +225. Behind them are the New England Patriots (+450), Atlanta Falcons (+600), Detroit Lions (+650), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+900).

Of those four teams, the most likely landing spot is the Colts. They have the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, an asset that could convince the Ravens to trade Jackson. Baltimore could draft their next franchise quarterback with that selection.

Meanwhile, the best fantasy fit for Jackson would be the Miami Dolphins. According to Odds Shark, they are a 10-1 bet to land the former MVP. However, that seems unlikely. The team recently picked up the fifth-year option on Tua Tagovailoa’s contract. Furthermore, they don’t have a first-round pick to trade to the Ravens.

Yet, imagine how fun Miami’s offense would be for fantasy players with Jackson, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle on the same team.
