On Tuesday, March 7th 2023, the Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson.[0]<\/a><\/sup> This decision gives Jackson the chance to negotiate with other teams, and if he signs an offer sheet, the Ravens will have the right to match or receive two first-round picks in exchange. This move has generated a lot of speculation and discussion, as it opens up the possibility of Jackson leaving the Ravens.<\/p>\n

The non-exclusive tag prevents Jackson from testing the open market, while the exclusive tag would have done the opposite.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The Ravens' decision to go non-exclusive allows other teams to negotiate with Jackson starting March 13 when legal tampering begins.[2]<\/a><\/sup> If Jackson agrees to an outside offer, Baltimore will then have the opportunity to match it or allow the quarterback to sign elsewhere and receive two first-round draft picks in return.<\/p>\n

Jackson is reportedly seeking a fully guaranteed contract comparable to Deshaun Watson's five-year, $230 million deal last year.[3]<\/a><\/sup> This deal is seen as a record for the highest guarantees given to an NFL player.[4]<\/a><\/sup> There are two types of franchise tags, the exclusive and nonexclusive tag.[5]<\/a><\/sup> The exclusive tag keeps Jackson from negotiating with anyone else, but it costs significantly more.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Ravens have been in negotiations with Jackson for over a year, but have yet to reach a long-term deal.[4]<\/a><\/sup> According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, the Atlanta Falcons have made it evident that they will not be pursuing Jackson after the announcement of his tag came to light.[6]<\/a><\/sup> This has caused many to speculate which teams will be willing to offer Jackson a more lucrative deal.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Ravens are betting that Jackson will test free agency and find out the market isn't as green as he thought.[8]<\/a><\/sup> It is possible that the Ravens are prepared to equal any agreement he receives.[8]<\/a><\/sup> They need to be aware of the quarterback market.[8]<\/a><\/sup> The Ravens have until the summer to hammer something out.[9]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Giants were able to reach a long-term deal with Daniel Jones, allowing them to place the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley for the 2023 season.[10]<\/a><\/sup> The Dolphins have been rumored to be interested in Jackson, but they don't have a 2023 first-round pick and are not expected to pursue him.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported that the non-exclusive tag carries a $32.41 million price tag and allows Jackson to negotiate with other teams in free agency.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
