Ravens Consider Daniel Jones as Short-Term Quarterback Option

Overview

• The Ravens have lost starter Lamar Jackson to a thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley to another injury, leaving undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano set to start Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reported this week that conversations suggest the Ravens have at least looked at Daniel Jones as a trade option to shore up the position.
• Jones’s contract structure makes a move more feasible because only a $5.5 million base for 2026 is immediately tradable while larger guarantees do not trigger until 2027.
• Recent roster moves and trade requests by the Indianapolis Colts, including earlier trades of veterans and a wide receiver’s trade request, have increased talk that the Colts could move players before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
• No trade has been reported and the idea remains speculative, with Baltimore also weighing cheaper veteran or free-agent alternatives and facing the practical challenge of signing and preparing a new starter on a short week.
