Lamar Jackson Trade Talk Grows After Baltimore Report, With Dolphins and Raiders Floated

Cap pressures, injuries and reported discipline issues are driving speculation without any confirmation of negotiations.

Overview

  • Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston reported rising frustration inside the Ravens, citing John Harbaugh’s concerns over Jackson’s discipline, practice habits and recurring injuries.
  • Jackson is projected for $74.5 million cap hits in 2026 and 2027, a burden analysts note would challenge roster building for Baltimore and any acquiring team.
  • FanSided proposed Miami as a destination with a mock package of three future first-rounders plus a second, while flagging hurdles tied to Tua Tagovailoa’s contract and the Dolphins’ cap.
  • Heavy identified the Raiders as a possible suitor, suggesting a deal centered on a potential No. 1 pick in 2026 and pointing to CBS Sports commentary on Jackson’s fit with Brock Bowers.
  • No team has indicated that trade talks are underway, and some analysis outlines a Ravens pivot to the draft with quarterbacks Dante Moore, Garrett Nussmeier and Jalon Daniels as options.
