NFL Trade Rumors: Lamar Jackson to Commanders? Insider predicts Dan Snyder’s crazy parting gift for franchise

Lamar Jackson's future with the Baltimore Ravens remains uncertain. The Ravens are anticipated to utilize the non-exclusive franchise tag on their prized quarterback in the coming days.

Given the non-exclusive franchise tag, any NFL team could trade for Jackson by giving two first-round picks. This could entice numerous franchises to make a move for Jackson. According to NFL insider Matthew Berry, the Washington Commanders may make a significant effort to acquire the Ravens quarterback.

According to Matthew Berry, Commanders owner Dan Snyder may wind up handing Lamar Jackson a six-year, fully guaranteed contract. He also stated that because Snyder is anticipated to sell the franchise shortly, Jackson's signing would have no bearing on him.

If Jackson plays incredibly well for the Washington Commanders without being harmed, Dan Snyder will be adored for his parting gift. But if Jackson gets hurt and his contract becomes a problem for the organization, he will bear no repercussions because the new owners will be required to straighten that situation out.

The Commanders recently hired Eric Bieniemy as their new offensive coordinator, and he would relish the opportunity to work with Jackson. Bieniemy was also linked to the Baltimore Ravens' OC position, but he ultimately ended up with the Commanders.

Lamar Jackson is a generational player who is capable of turning around the fate of any franchise. If he ends up on a team like Washington where they haven't had a franchise quarterback for a long time, then he could create his own legacy there.

Commanders do have talented players on their team like Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson Jr., and Jahan Dotson who would make life easy for their quarterback.
