It’s always fun to play “what if” when it comes to NFL trades and ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller floated a pretty interesting deal on Tuesday.
Taking to Twitter, Miller said: “IF Lamar Jackson is done in Baltimore, the Ravens should be calling the 49ers about Trey Lance. Depending on what pick [Baltimore] gets in return for Jackson, that could be a lower cost solution at QB that fits the existing offense based on pre-draft abilities.”
Let’s play what if.
IF Lamar Jackson is done in Baltimore, the Ravens should be calling the 49ers about Trey Lance.
Depending on what pick Balt gets in return for Jackson, that could be a lower cost solution at QB that fits the existing offense based on pre-draft abilities.

“[On-point]. Trey Lance wouldn’t be cheap. And I think it’s probably unlikely that the 49ers would want to let him go. But the Ravens, given the current situation, should absolutely be calling about Lance,” a fan tweeted.

“Why would the Ravens want 3 years of Lance instead of trying to get something done with the Colts and get 5 years of Richardson? So no they absolutely should not,” another disagreed.

Would you entertain this trade if you’re the Ravens?
