Lamar Jackson has spent five years with the Baltimore Ravens, emerging as the franchise quarterback and an ambassador for the organization. Those days may be coming to an end far too soon, though, as Jackson has requestioned a trade from the Ravens after the team placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him.
Even though any team is free to talk to Jackson, the team would have to give the Ravens two first-round picks to acquire him if Baltimore doesn't match the offer. Trading Jackson's rights and allowing him to negotiate with another team would make his free agent situation less complicated as he searches for an organization to play for in 2023 and beyond.
If Jackson is dealt, he will be the youngest former MVP in NFL history to change teams (26). Jackson is still the youngest quarterback ever to win an MVP at 22 years old (2019).
Regardless of what becomes of Jackson's future, there's no doubt he emerged as the best quarterback in Ravens' franchise history. Jackson has helped transcend the quarterback position and has the numbers to back that up.
