Currently 4-4 and potentially without QB Lamar Jackson for the remainder of the season, GM Eric DeCosta and Co. might have to take a hard look at their options this weekend given no team is more overspent in 2027 − nearly $46 million in the red on next year's salary cap, per Over The Cap. Jackson's inability to stay on the field, to say nothing of the $84.3 million cap number he'll carry into 2027, his final year under contract, make it worth wondering if Baltimore may conclude whether it's time to cut ties with a player who's been difficult to negotiate new deals with.

Jackson potentially out for season; $84.3M cap hit in 2027 raises trade questions.

The source indicates that Jackson may be out for the remainder of the season, which could force the Ravens to make existential roster decisions; his $84.3 million cap number in 2027 (his final year under contract) and difficulty in negotiating new deals make it worth wondering if Baltimore may conclude it's time to cut ties with him.
