Ravens' Lamar Jackson Trade Talk: Drama Unfolds

0:00On April 8th, the Baltimore Ravens kicked off this offseason by restructuring the Mar-Jackson's contract, freeing up about $40 million in cap, space since they couldn't lock him into a long-term deal. That move bought them some breathing room, but the real pressure builds ahead. By 2027, Jackson's cap hit balloons to over $84 million with no guaranteed money left on the books. ESPN analyst Louis Riddick stirred the pot recently, saying, yeah, it's possible the Ravens could trade their two-time MVP if no extension happens, pure business, he called it. Ravens fans are already sweating that talk. Over the cap numbers back it up, his 2026 hit sits at $34 million, but that jump makes keeping him tough without a new pact. A post-June first trader cut could save them $52 million, though they'd swallow $32 million in dead cap. Plenty of drama left to unfold over the next couple years, as Baltimore weighs its superstar options and eyes the future.
