The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on star quarterback Lamar Jackson ahead of free agency after he was unable to come to terms with the team on a contract extension.
The non-exclusive franchise tag gives rival teams a chance to send an offer sheet to Jackson for a contract. The Ravens are then in the position to either match the offer from an opposing team, or let Jackson walk and collect two first-round picks from the team who signs him.
ESPN NFL analyst and former Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich believes that New England should be one of the teams to make a run at Jackson this offseason.
