All signs point to Lamar Jackson getting the franchise tag, as the team and player don't appear to be close to a new contract. What happens after that is up for debate though. It appears there is at least a chance that Jackson could end up being traded after the tag, per Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
Could the #Ravens trade QB Lamar Jackson? After he receives the franchise tag, a windfall of draft picks could tempt Baltimore to consider a deal.
