The news that the Panthers are trading up to No. 1 to draft a quarterback and the Dolphins picking up the fifth-year option on Tua Tagovailoa effectively eliminates two potential suitors for Lamar Jackson’s services. Although Lamar Jackson still has the potential to draw interest from other teams in free agency, the lack of interest from two of the most likely teams leaves a major problem for the 2019 MVP.
With the Panthers and Dolphins now out of the running, Jackson’s options have become increasingly limited. Although the Ravens have stated they would like to bring back Jackson, a lack of interest from other teams could make it difficult for Jackson to find the type of deal he is looking for.
Jackson’s situation is a difficult one, and as he continues to represent himself, it makes matters even more complicated. Despite the lack of interest from Carolina and Miami, Jackson still has a chance to draw interest from other teams in free agency. However, with two of the team’s most likely to pursue the Ravens quarterback now out of the running, things are looking increasingly difficult for Lamar Jackson.
