The Baltimore Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson before Tuesday’s 4pm EST deadline. The move means that Jackson will play on a $32.4 million cap charge in 2023 on a one-year deal, assuming he signs the tag. However, an extension, trade or deal with another team could still be in the cards.
With the non-exclusive tag, Jackson will be free to negotiate with other teams, and if he finds a deal he likes on the open market he can bring it back to Baltimore and give them the opportunity to match, or leave with the Ravens getting two first-round picks. However, it was reported over the course of Tuesday that multiple teams aren’t interested in the former league MVP, including the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and others.
Teams that reportedly will *not* be pursuing a deal for Lamar Jackson include:
▫️Falcons
▫️Dolphins
▫️Panthers
▫️Commanders
▫️Raiders— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 7, 2023
