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.

Dolphins Face A Tough Chop Robinson Decision As His Value Climbs
Chop Robinsons rise has put Miami in a tricky spot as the edge rusher heads into his third NFL season with a fifth-year option still attached to his deal. At a premium position and still early in his career, Robinson has become the kind of player other teams would be willing to ask about, which is exactly why the Dolphins are having to think through whether his value on the market is higher than his value on the roster.
General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan is expected to weigh any trade interest carefully, balancing what Miami could get back against the possibility of giving up a young pass rusher before his best football is even in front of him. The uncertainty around Robinson adds to the difficulty of the decision, and it leaves the Dolphins with a familiar front-office question: hold onto a talented player and hope the upside keeps climbing, or move him while the interest is real.

Dolphins Defense Has A Coaching Problem Fans Cant Ignore
The Dolphins defense has been good enough at times to keep games within reach, but the broader picture through Week 8 is hard to miss. Miami sits 17th in yards allowed per game and 24th in points allowed per game, a middling profile that has left the unit looking more frustrating than reliable, especially for a team trying to stay in the AFC race.
Jeff Hafley, in his first professional year as the defensive coach, is already dealing with the sort of questions that come with uneven week-to-week results. The defense has looked better in the second and fourth quarters, but the rough patches in the first and third have put a spotlight on preparation and in-game adjustments, two areas the Dolphins need to tighten up if they want the group to stop feeling so vulnerable at key moments.

Dolphins Could Face A Tough Trade Deadline Decision On Key Veterans
With the trade deadline approaching, the Dolphins find themselves in a familiar spot for a team trying to balance the present and the future. Around the AFC East, the Bills are being tied to Cardinals safety Budda Baker, the Jets are signaling they want to keep core pieces in place, and the Patriots sound more likely to nibble around the edges than swing big. Miami, meanwhile, is not positioned as a buyer, which puts the focus on whether it will simply stand pat or listen if another club comes calling.
That is where the conversation gets interesting for a roster with a few veterans who could draw real attention if the market develops the right way. Zach Sieler and Austin Jackson are among the names to watch, and the Dolphins would have to decide whether any offer is strong enough to justify moving on from established pieces. For a team trying to chart its next step, the deadline may end up being less about adding help and more about whether it can resist the temptation to reshape part of the roster. [Read more 🡒]
