Hall of Famer Pleads With Lamar Jackson to Ditch Ravens, Save Struggling AFC Team
Hall of Famer Michael Irvin urges Lamar Jackson to leave the Baltimore Ravens and join the Miami Dolphins when his contract ends.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's 2026 season may be nearing an end, according to renowned sports analyst Nick Wright. During a recent episode of First Things First, Wright expressed his belief that trading Jackson to the Miami Dolphins is a very real possibility. The Dolphins, currently sporting a 1-6 record, are among the NFL's worst teams, trailing only the Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans.
Jackson, who entered the 2026 season as a two-time MVP, has missed significant time for the fourth time in the past six seasons. He is currently expected to miss even more games, adding 12 more contests to his total if sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension with the Ravens in 2023, but that deal only extends through the 2027 campaign. The contract was restructured in March to provide the Ravens with nearly $40 million in additional cap space.
The Ravens have expressed interest in trading Jackson, but potential suitors have yet to emerge. The Miami Dolphins, despite their poor record, remain a strong contender for the highly sought-after quarterback.
