Examining the pros and cons of Atlanta trading for Lamar Jackson

Examining the pros and cons if the #Falcons were to trade for QB Lamar Jackson

The Falcons may not have qualified for the postseason in 2022, but they will head into the 2023 offseason with a lot to look forward to. Atlanta has an influx of salary cap space, another top-10 draft pick and some talented pieces on both sides of the ball.

With that said, there are still several positions on the roster that have question marks, including the quarterback spot. One name that has been consistently floated around is Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens have been unable to get a long-term extension done with Jackson thus far, and they’re expected to franchise tag the former MVP this offseason. Even if Baltimore tags Jackson, a trade is still a strong possibility.

So does Atlanta make sense as a potential landing spot? Here’s a look at the pros and cons of trading for Jackson.
