LIONS TRADE FOTR LAMAR JACKSON!!!!!
Lions trade for QB Lamar Jackson, formerly of the Ravens, and sign him to a new five-year, $233 million contract.
Jackson was drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Jackson became the Ravens' starting quarterback in his rookie season after an injury to incumbent
Joe Flacco and clinched a division title with the team, also becoming the youngest NFL quarterback to start a playoff game at age 21. Pro Football Focus ranked him as their No. 5 quarterback in 2022. The Ravens will reportedly receive the Lions 18th pick in the 2023 draft, their 3rd round pick in the 2023 draft and the Lions first round pick next year in the 2024 draft. For Detroit, this is a franchise changing move that makes them immediate Super Bowl contenders. It’s uncertain what the Lions will do with Jared Goff and his large salary cap hit, but it’s believed they will immediately begin to shop him to QB needy teams like the Niners, Cowboys and Jets.
