Lamar Jackson’s future in Baltimore is suddenly becoming a conversation piece, and Fox Sports’ Nick Wright threw out the boldest version of it on Tuesday.
On “The Herd,” Wright said he believes Jackson could be lining up as Miami’s Week 1 starter in 2027. He tied that idea to Jackson’s Florida roots and suggested the Dolphins might not have to part with a massive haul of first-round picks to make it happen.
“It’s just a gut feeling. I think Lamar Jackson is the Week 1 starting quarterback next year for the Miami Dolphins,” Wright said.
“I think he would accept a trade to Miami due to his Florida roots, and I don’t think they would have to give up a ton of first-round picks to get him. I think that might be where this is headed.”
The prediction comes as questions around Jackson and the Ravens have grown louder. Baltimore has not lived up to expectations with Jackson at quarterback, even with two MVP Awards on his résumé.
The team has reached the AFC Championship Game only once with him under center, and injuries have played a major role in that shortfall. That same issue has continued in 2026.
Wright is not the only one who thinks the relationship could be nearing an end. ESPN’s Mike Greenberg also said he believes Sunday was the last time Jackson will wear a Ravens uniform.
Still, the idea of Jackson in another jersey remains a tough one to picture. He sits in the upper tier of quarterbacks a team would normally never consider moving, and when he’s healthy, he’s one of the league’s most dangerous players. But if the injuries keep wrecking Baltimore’s seasons, the possibility only gets harder to ignore.
For now, it’s all speculation. But the chatter around Jackson’s future in Baltimore is only going to get louder as the 2027 season approaches.

Ravens Quarterback Crisis Just Forced Another Desperate Move
Lamar Jacksons thumb injury has left Baltimore scrambling for answers at the most important position on the field, and the ripple effects are already showing up in the roster moves. With Jackson expected to miss the rest of the season, the Ravens have had to keep piecing together a quarterback room on the fly while trying to stabilize a team suddenly forced to adjust its entire identity.
Kedon Slovis is the latest addition, giving Baltimore another arm as it prepares for its next game, but the depth chart still looks thin and unsettled. Joe Fagnano and Austin Reed remain in the mix, and team leaders like Roquan Smith and Minter have already acknowledged how difficult the road ahead will be without Jackson steering the offense.

Lamar Jackson Trade Buzz Reignites A Big Ravens Question
Lamar Jacksons thumb injury has only added fuel to a familiar kind of NFL chatter, the sort that tends to follow a star quarterback whenever contract questions linger. Michael Irvin stirred the pot by suggesting Jackson could end up with the Dolphins, and the reaction was immediate, with plenty of fans pushing back on the idea. For Baltimore, the bigger issue is not the noise around a speculative destination, but the reality that Jackson remains central to everything the franchise wants to do.
There has been no confirmation of trade talks from either the Ravens or the Dolphins, and the teams stance remains rooted in the present. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Baltimore still views Jackson as its franchise quarterback and expects contract discussions to pick back up in the offseason. Even so, the long-term picture is still tied to whether the two sides can reach an extension, because if they cannot, the possibility of a trade would not disappear. [Read more 🡒]
Eric DeCosta Is Taking Heat For A Ravens Collapse He Didn't Cause
The Ravens rough 2026 season has put Eric DeCosta squarely in the crosshairs, and the frustration is easy to understand. With injuries piling up across the roster and Lamar Jackson among the players affected, Baltimore has not looked like the kind of team it expected to be, and the general manager has taken plenty of heat for the way the offensive line has been built and maintained.
Still, the collapse has not been as simple as a front-office failure, and that matters when sorting out where the blame really belongs. DeCosta has made some moves that have helped the line, even as other decisions have left the unit vulnerable, and the broader picture is one of a team hit by circumstances as much as by its own missteps. The question now is how much of this seasons damage can be traced to roster construction, and how much to everything that has gone wrong around it. [Read more 🡒]
