Ravens face possible Lamar Jackson trade amid contract uncertainty

The Baltimore Ravens, following a coaching overhaul and roster adjustments, head into the 2026 season with optimism despite potential struggles. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests a troubling scenario where, if the season does not meet expectations and contract negotiations falter, the Ravens could consider trading Lamar Jackson. As Jackson enters the final year of his contract, he holds leverage due to no franchise tag clause, complicating extension talks. This outcome, described as a 'long shot,' would follow a disappointing season for Baltimore.
