New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Monday that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was interested in playing for the Patriots, but New England doesn't have any plans to pursue him, according to a league source. If the Pats signed Jackson to an offer sheet and the Ravens didn't match it, they'd have to surrender two first-round picks. The Patriots would also most likely need to give Jackson a contract worth far more than they ever gave to Tom Brady. New England's expectations this offseason are that Mac Jones will be the starter in 2023, but he'll have to beat out Bailey Zappe this summer. So far, the Colts are the only NFL team that seems to even be considering making a run at Jackson.
The Houston Texans are not expected to pursue a trade for Baltimore Ravens franchise-tagged quarterback Lamar Jackson, according to league sources. The team's focus is on NFL QB prospects for the upcoming draft, including visits with Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, Kentucky's Will Levis, Florida's Anthony Richardson and Tennessee's Hendon Hooker. The Carolina Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick and will have their choice of QB, but the Texans are fully expected to take another top signal-caller to be their franchise QB at No. 2. The Indianapolis Colts are really the only team currently that haven't been ruled out to pursue a trade for Jackson. Any team that is actually serious about acquiring him is going to have to give up major draft compensation while also signing him to a hefty long-term contract extension.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh made it sound like wide receiver Devin Duvernay would return to the team in 2023 despite the recent addition of Nelson Agholor. Duvernay has been in danger of being a salary cap casualty this offseason after catching 37 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular season games (13 starts) for Baltimore in 2022. The 25-year-old is much more valuable to the Ravens as a kick returner on special teams, but he also gives them some depth in a thin receiving corps. He broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in late December but should be fully recovered by training camp. With the Ravens fully expected to add more receiving help in the draft, Duvernay won't be very attractive in fantasy as a pass-catcher, especially with quarterback Lamar Jackson's future in Baltimore in question.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had a positive update on wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) at the NFL owners meetings on Monday. "Rashod is in a great place... He's healthy and going to be running in three weeks. I'm a big believer in Rashod Bateman," Harbaugh said. Bateman was only able to play in six games for Baltimore in 2022 due to a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. He finished with 15 catches on 28 targets for 285 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old former first-rounder should be fully ready for training camp this summer and will be the team's top wideout once again in 2023. However, the situation looming with quarterback Lamar Jackson could cause Bateman's fantasy stock to plummet if the dual-threat QB ends up playing elsewhere.
The Washington Commanders won't be one of the team's pursuing Baltimore Ravens franchise-tagged quarterback Lamar Jackson this offseason. "There are a number of reasons. I won't get into specifics. He's a very talented guy. He's one of the better QBs in this league. For us right now, we're moving forward with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett," general manager Martin Mayhew said. Jackson publicly requested a trade on Monday, but it remains to be seen if any team will step up to the plate and give Baltimore two first-round picks for the 26-year-old dual-threat QB. Jackson has missed some time at the end of the last two seasons due to injuries, but when healthy, he has been one of the most dynamic players at his position in the NFL.
