Overview
- Reporting on June 14, 2026 says Jackson left Baltimore after OTAs without a new extension and remains unsigned on a fresh deal.
- Numerous unnamed NFL executives and agents told SportsBoom they expect Jackson could request a trade if negotiations do not progress.
- Jackson is currently midway through a five‑year, $260 million deal signed in 2023 and holds leverage because the wider QB market has pushed top salaries higher.
- League and personnel sources say any trade would require an unusually large return—likely more than the three first‑round picks exchanged for Matthew Stafford—and would give the Ravens assets to reset the roster.
- Speculative coverage names teams such as the Atlanta Falcons as potential suitors and warns that Jackson’s departure would materially shift divisional and conference balance.
