Ravens place non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson

Still unable to work out a long-term contract extension with superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens opted to book a non-exclusive franchise card for him by Tuesday's deadline.

That sets the stage for what could be a fascinating season in Baltimore and around the NFL.

By placing a non-exclusive card on Jackson, Jackson has the opportunity to negotiate with other teams around the NFL once the free agent contract period begins.

If Jackson played for Baltimore as a franchise, his salary for the 2023 season would be $32 million.

Because he's given the freedom to talk to other teams, it's possible that someone could do something Raven hasn't been able to do for the past year and a half, which has actually come to terms with Jackson. contract.

If that happens, the Ravens will have two choices: match the offer and thank another team for doing their work for them, or allow Jackson to walk away and get two draft picks back. the first round as a compensation.

The former option seems to be the most logical end game here. As tempting as the two first-round draft picks, Jackson has more value to Raven than that. Sure, they could use that newly found draft capital to make a move in the draft to find a replacement, but the odds of that replacement being at Jackson's level are slim. Without Jackson, Raven's offense simply doesn't work, and it would require almost a complete rebuild of the team's play to be worthy of a newcomer.

Since the start of the 2018 season, Raven is 8-14 without Jackson in the starting midfield and 46-18 with him (including knockouts). It's not easy to replace that, even if you have plenty of first-round draft picks at your disposal.

Jimmy Garoppolo, free agent Raiders HC Josh McDaniels may prefer Garoppolo, who played for McDaniels when he worked as offensive coordinator in New England. Garoppolo is efficient - his career passing 99.6 ranks sixth among active passers - but he is prone to injury, playing only one season in nine years.

According to Spotrac, his market value is a four-year contract wor...

The Baltimore Ravens are currently a big question mark because of Jackson's situation but expect coach John Harbaugh to plan to be a competitive team with or without their former MVP...
