How has no one mentioned this?!
First off, that's a lot of dead money to swallow (Shipping him out of town would accelerate his $8 million in signing bonuses for 2019 and 2020 onto their 2019 cap, so that $16 million dead money still remains; link).
Do they really think Jackson's the answer? The fans were booing him in the wild card game and his rushing style might have been ok last year but how long before the dude gets absolutely crippled and the Ravens are screwed?
They got a fourth round pick for him (apparently), but I still don't think it was a good move.
Thoughts?
Quote:The Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos reportedly agreed to a trade in principle Wednesday that will send veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to Denver.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the trade cannot become official until the new league year begins March 13. Both teams are prohibited from commenting on the deal until then as well. The Ravens are receiving a fourth-round pick, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. That is the Broncos original pick of the fourth round, not the pick acquired in the trade of Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans, per Mike Klis of 9News.
Field Yates of ESPN broke down Flacco's contract, noting the salary cap implications for the Ravens:
