The Baltimore Ravens left Lamar Jackson free to negotiate with suitors on Tuesday by applying the non-exclusive franchise tag to their quarterback.
These reports all broke in the hours after the Ravens applied the non-exclusive franchise tag. The"non-exclusive" designation is key. An exclusive franchise tag would have barred Jackson from negotiating with other teams and cost the Ravens a projected $45.2 million next season.
The non-exclusive tag costs the Ravens $32.4 million, but leaves Jackson open to negotiate with suitors. If he signs an offer he likes, Baltimore would have the option to match it or let Jackson go in exchange for two second-round draft picks., the Ravens and Jackson remain far apart as Jackson seeks something in the range of Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed $230 million deal in Cleveland.
But it sounds like the market to pursue Jackson at the cost of a lucrative contract plus two first-round picks is tepid — at least in the immediate aftermath of his conditional availability. The Raiders have no clear answer at quarterback after releasing Derek Carr. The Falcons are still searching for an answer at the position in the post-Matt Ryan era. The Panthers are in a similar position having been in quarterback limbo since the end of Cam Newton's career in Charlotte.
