NEWNow you can listen to Pak Gazette articles!

The Baltimore Ravens’ season is on the brink as their playoff hopes dwindle heading into Week 17 of the season, and substantial changes could come to the offense in 2026.

Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowler, was mentioned in a report as a possible trade candidate before the 2026 season begins. Jackson, who has missed time with injuries at various points this season, left Sunday night’s game against the New England Patriots and watched his team fall in a crucial matchup 28-24.

In a column for the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday, columnist Mike Preston wrote that Jackson “has already become a central figure in potential trade negotiations.” He suggested the Ravens should consider trading the star quarterback and named two possible landing spots.

The Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders.

The column said Jackson would “love to play in Miami,” while Tom Brady had shown “affection” for the player in the past, which would make Las Vegas a good destination.

There has been no public indication that the Ravens have made Jackson available. The team signed Jackson to a massive five-year contract worth $260 million ahead of the 2023 season after a standoff between the two sides.

BROWNS MAKE DECISION ON 230 MILLION MARSHAL AS SEASON ENDS

He is owed $51.25 million in 2026 and 2027 and has a full no-trade clause, according to Spotrac.

If anything, Jackson was urged in the column to start training better and follow a regimented program to prevent more injuries from appearing.

He has played in 115 games for the Ravens since entering the league in 2018. He has 22,370 passing yards and 184 touchdown passes along with 6,513 rushing yards and 35 rushing touchdowns.

For all their success in the regular season, the Ravens have only reached the conference championship once.
