“Yes, Baltimore and Jackson could possibly be $100 million apart there, a massive gap to bridge. Those trade calls are coming. I don’t get the sense that that process has heated up, in part because teams are assuming Jackson will be tagged. It’s still very early on this one.”
Here’s how fans reacted to the report of Jackson possibly getting traded by the Ravens.

It doesn't make any good business sense to fully guarantee a contract for players in the NFL. It also doesn't help that Lamar has played 24 of a possible 34 games the last two seasons. He also missed the wild card round last month. https://t.co/FHWI4gto5z

Ravens don't understand how to win so they should trade Lamar and maybe get Lance for a 1st to run a similar offense. They closed their own window. https://t.co/uPauLc3BHj
