Patriots trade for Lamar Jackson: What packages would make sense?
It does appear like the Baltimore Ravens could trade Lamar Jackson. What would packages from the New England Patriots look like to get the player?
Yes, Lamar Jackson being traded is something that looks increasingly likely. The Ravens would have to put some type of tag on Jackson if the two sides cannot agree to a deal on Tuesday.
The tag would give the Ravens more time to negotiate a deal, but at this point, if a tag is applied, the Ravens might be accepting the fact that Jackson might not be a Raven anymore and trade offers could then be entertained.
If the Patriots were to make offers to the Ravens for Lamar Jackson, what would that look like?
Patriots trade for Lamar Jackson: What packages would make sense?
Package one: Ravens receive 2023, 2024, 2025 first round picks, Kendrick Bourne
The first package would be the Patirots sending their next three first round picks in 2023, 2024, and 2025. They’d also include Kendrick Bourne in the deal and would receive Lamar Jackson back in the deal.
Not sure if this would be enough, obviously, but the main framework of the Deshaun Watson trade was including three first round picks in the deal.
I do think the injury concern with Jackson is valid, so who knows if a potential trade package would be as much as the Texans got for Watson.
