NFL Legend Suggests Potential Ravens' Departure for Lamar Jackson

The future of the Baltimore Ravens has been called into question following their brutal loss in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Not only did the Ravens end up losing the game by a final score of 36-10, they also saw superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson go down with another injury. He has been placed on IR due to the thumb injury that he suffered against the Bills.

Immediately following the news of Jackson's potentially season-ending injury, the rumors and speculation started flowing. Some even suggested that Jackson may have played his last game in Baltimore.

At the end of the day, no one knows what the future has in store. There have been rumblings over the last couple of years about Jackson's future with the team.

One NFL legend has now spoken out and suggested a potential destination for the two-time NFL MVP.

Former Dallas Cowboys superstar wide receiver Michael Irvin made an appearance on "First Take" on Monday. He suggested that taking his talents to the Miami Dolphins could make Jackson a international icon.

This isn't the first time the Dolphins have been mentioned as a potential suitor for Jackson in the future. Even with Malik Willis now in town as their starting quarterback, the franchise could use a franchise caliber signal caller. Jackson would be exactly that for them.

Jackson was originally drafted by the Ravens with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He has played in 121 games with Baltimore, throwing for 23,575 yards, 193 touchdowns, and 57 interceptions, while completing 64.9 percent of his passes and running for 6,666 yards and 36 touchdowns.

Over the years, the two sides have had multiple contract disputes. Even before the injury-riddle season he has gone through in 2026, there was some belief that Jackson could leave the Ravens.

Whether or not he would take his talents to Miami remains to be seen. Right now, the Dolphins are in the middle of an aggressive rebuild and hold a 1-6 record this season.

Expect to continue hearing rumors about Jackson's future in Baltimore as the season progresses. Whether or not he will be able to return to the field for the Ravens this year remains to be seen.

As the offseason draws closer, Miami is sure to become a much more talked about potential threat to steal Jackson away from Baltimore.
