newYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Baltimore Ravens’ season is on the brink with their playoff hopes dwindling heading into Week 17 of the season, and a fundamental change could come to the offense in 2026.

Lamar Jackson, the two-time NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowler, was mentioned in a report as a potential trade candidate before the start of the 2026 season.

Jackson, who has missed time with injuries at multiple points this season, left Sunday night’s game against the New England Patriots and watched his team fall in a crucial game, 28-24.

In column L Baltimore Sun On Wednesday, columnist Mike Preston wrote that Jackson “has already become a central figure in potential trade talks.” He suggested the Ravens could look at potentially trading the star quarterback and named two potential spots to land.

Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders.

The column said Jackson “would love to play in Miami,” while Tom Brady has shown “fondness” for the player in the past, which would make Las Vegas a good destination.

There has been no public indication that the Ravens have made Jackson available. The team signed Jackson to a massive five-year, $260 million deal before the 2023 season after a standoff between the two sides.
