Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Believe it or not, Lamar Jackson is going to be a free agent in 2022. Chances are that he is going to stay in Baltimore, but if they don’t present him with a winning team and he continues to lose with them in the playoffs; he might be up for new scenery going forward.

Jackson has become a quarterback icon. He hasn’t won a Super Bowl — yet. However, Jackson has made waves being the foremost quarterback in using his legs. He has become one of the quarterbacks that players inspire to be like.

In 2020, Jackson passed for 2,757 yards and 26 touchdowns with only nine interceptions. Similar stats to already mentioned Baker Mayfield; however, Jackson also adds 1,005 yards on the ground along with another seven touchdowns.

When it comes to a quarterback that can pass and run, there is literally none current that can even compare to Lamar Jackson. He would end up costing the Saints roughly $40 million per year, but if they can find that in their salary, he’s the guy to own for the next five years.
