Jackson and the Ravens appear to have significant disagreements regarding his valuation as he seeks a substantial contract that would position him among the highest-paid QBs in the league. The Ravens do not seem willing to make that a reality, however. Pro Football Focus has speculated that the Falcons could be a possible trade destination for Jackson if the parties fail to agree on a contract extension. While there is no concrete evidence to support this notion, a video has surfaced online showing Jackson's jersey for sale on the NFL Shop, specifically a Falcons jersey.
Although it is unclear whether this is legitimate or simply an attempt to fan the flames of speculation, it has sparked a viral reaction. The Falcons are reportedly interested in Jackson, having previously attempted to sign Deshaun Watson before he went to Cleveland.
If a deal cannot be reached before the March 7 deadline, Jackson is expected to be franchise tagged. However, this does not preclude the possibility of a trade.
