NEWYou can now listen to Pakinomist articles!

The Baltimore Ravens’ season is on the brink as their playoff hopes fade into Week 17 of the season, and significant changes could be coming to the offense in 2026.

Lamar Jackson, the two-time NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowler, was mentioned in a report as a possible trade candidate before the 2026 season begins. Jackson, who has missed time with injuries at several points of the season, left Sunday night’s game against the New England Patriots and saw his team fall in a decisive game 28-24.

In a column for the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday, columnist Mike Preston wrote that Jackson “has already become a central figure in possible trade talks.” He suggested the Ravens should look at a potential trade for the star quarterback and named two potential landing spots.

Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders.

The column said Jackson “would love to play in Miami,” while Tom Brady had previously shown “love” for the player, 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 deal worth $260 million before the 2023 season after a battle between the two sides.

BRUNNE MAKE DECISION ON $230 MILLION QUARTERBACK AS SEASON DOWN

He was owed $51.25 million in 2026 and 2027 and has a full no-trade clause, according to Spotrac.

If anything, Jackson was urged in the column to start training better and get on a regimented program to prevent more of the injuries from showing up.

He has played in 115 games for the Ravens since entering the league in 2018. He has 22,370 passing yards and 184 touchdown passes to go along with 6,513 rushing yards and 35 rushing touchdowns.

For all his regular season success, the Ravens have only made it as far as the conference championship once.
